not enough gain, maybe?

Hi everyone.
I have decided to make a go at building effects and so I went with what seems like a good starter kit.

Finished up last night with mostly good results. Everything seems to be working great. No noise and maxed volume seems to offer quite the boost but with the gain dimed I cant get anywhere near the level of distortion in the sound clip linked above. Right now a maxed gain gives me a mildly broken up tube kind of sound. It actually sounds pretty nice but obviously not the level of gain I was hoping for.
Here is a link to the circuit - http://www.generalguitargadgets.com/pdf ... ass_sc.pdf
I put a 47k resistor at R6 for more gain per GGG. Any advice on troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated!!
