Jered	Re: Foooooooooook! Hi Alex,a couple things you can try if you want. Make your gain pot a fixed resistor and add a 100k pot to ground after the .1 cap connected to Q1 collector. Lifting the 22uF cap at Q3 source might add clarity at the sacrifice of some gain. For more headroom, add a 1 Meg resistor from V+ to Q4 gate coupled to Q2/Q3 drain source junction with a .01 to .1 cap. remove Q4 1k drain resistor, and connect drain directly to V+. Just some things to try. Good luck, Jered
