Title: What are some ways to add more on tap clean volume to overdriv/dist circuts?
Post by: Chrisq206 on August 31, 2010, 01:14:59 PM
How would you do this? bisides changing diodes.

Attenuate at the input, add gain after the clipping stage.

Increase voltage  8)

Are you looking for more outout level?
Or just a cleaner Dist/OD?

Output level.  I like to hit my amps hard, then dial in a little drive as it need it.

Seems like you want to Either add a gain stage after the clipping stage or just modify the circuit
for more volume if possible. Depends on the circuit. If you can post/link a schematic we can tell you
what's possible.

Add a clean booster in your signal chain - after the OD pedal.

Step up transformer on the output.
