What are some good distortion type pedal designs I could try some of my LM386's with? Thanks in advance. :)

You could try the fuzz-booster on Marcus's site. It's a great device - more of a fuzz than a booster.

B. Tremblay is on the right track! I would suggest the Big Daddy (on the same page as Grace). It has some awesome sound. (I akin the sound to a large older tube amp. Supremely responsive to pick dynamics and volume changes on the guitar.) The only difference between mine and the layout on runoffgroove is that I used a .01uf cap for the input cap. Excellent build. Very easy. I like it even more when you give it a little extra drive with Gus's NPN boost!

I use the 386 in several of my circuits. It's a really cool chip.

Makes a nice headphone amp too with pretty good gain, ala the Ruby etc etc, makes for some great bedroom jamming and no ones the wiser.. :D

Smash Drive?
I'd highly recommend Tim's Rambler, too - wicked octave/fuzz.

Ansil, I built this and man, I can't seem to get it to work. I will recheck all connections again and then let you know what I find wrong, if I can.

peace!
