So I've been working off of this layout, and the pedal sounds great.



I still wish it had a bit more low end though! Any clues on how to bring back some of the fatness of my guitar?

I'm still decently new to this stuff as far as understanding the science behind the pedals, but I've done quite a few DIY pedal builds, and looking to develop my understanding of it.

The SD-1 and the Tube Screamer are so similar that it's worth reading info on both.

Here's a couple of links:

The article in the second link references R.G. Keen's article. You can also find some mod info in the build instructions for the Tube Screamer on the General Guitar Gadgets web site. Searching this forum will also yield a plethora of info.
