After more than 10 Big Muff's.. with a LM741 and RC4558 on hand.. why not?

What's the deal with the 150pF and 330pF caps difference?

To you, buffered bypass sucks tone.
To me, it sucks my balls.

I still have a pcb or two I had made at elecrow.com if you need one.

Floor-mat at the front entrance to my former place of employment. Oh... the irony.

150pF, more highs, 330pF, less highs, helps control the 'fizz' of the clipping stage, an intermediate value may be preferable so experiment.

That would be awesome, but I'm in the damn Argentina: where your international purchases arrive 8 to 10 months later... if you have lucky and it arrives. Thanks a LOT anyways!  ;D
I'm into it; mod some layout, etched and drill.

Talking with my old pal Kenny, he recommends to take a look over the Keeley Rotten Apple; a inspired one.
Here's some good take of it too: https://www.pedalpcb.com/docs/SourGrape.pdf

- Try two leds instead 6 1n4148 diodes.
