Hey all,
I built the sili face II at Runoffgroove and I'm amazed how so few parts can produce a great sounding effecthttp://www.runoffgroove.com/sili-face2.html
It only has one pot though for the volume, and I was wondering if it would be possible to add a tone control pot into the circuit.
Thanks for any comments or help with this idea.

EZ Face input cap blend mod...
 switched input caps and high end rolloff cap is my take on FF tone shaping, EZ, direct, and doesn't load the thing down with passives.
 My FF's tend to sound better between a guitar and tube, or with a booster in front,...perhaps do a booster or 3band active EQ separately and see what you think trying voicing options before/after.
Convention creates following, following creates convention.

There's a little inductor cct. AMZ's and it uses only a resistor and a transformer [small], emulates pickup EQ', IIRC it's a simple 'notcher'...so EZ you might want to try one.

I'm glad you like it!  It's a fun little circuit with a unique tone and response.

Here's a link for the mod that Pete suggested:
