JD Sleep	Re: MXR Distortion Sounds Great Charlie, Glad you like it! Some people don't like the sound of it, but I like mine a lot. What diode combination did you use? Did you use the 741? Try it with red LEDs sometime, excellent crunch for chords. Even though its not much difference, the DOD 250 version of that projects seems to get better reviews, I think it's mostly because of the higher value volume pot (that's just a hunch). If you haven't done so already and your game for a simple mod, try a 100k pot for volume instead of 10k. JD

Charlie,

Glad you like it! Some people don't like the sound of it, but I like mine a lot. What diode combination did you use? Did you use the 741? Try it with red LEDs sometime, excellent crunch for chords.
