Hey!

I was breadboarding the Easy Overdrive on the GGG site and I substitued some parts for bits I allready had lying around going to waste. Now the clipping sounds cool, almost square wave-ish (so I'll call it square-synth instead :mrgreen: ) But the attack is really loud and then the volume goes down alarmingly. On the whole the volume of the guitar signal is very low compared to clean signal. Also, when I play the strings with normal force, it pops angrily at me. I have to play teeny-weeny real quiet with this thing... Anybody have suggestions?

here's the schematic:

I don't like Holland. Nobody has the transistors I want.
