cw	Fullclone (or screamer+) i breadboarded it last night, and it is really awesome. i have 2 questions about it- 1.is it an exact copy of a fulldrive? 2.is there some way to make the tone control more effective? thanks cw

BWilliamson	Layout or RTS available anywhere? Sorry to jump your thread--was just curious of anybody has anything available. bw

No, it's not 'exact'.

thanks for the response. i figured out the tone control problem (a small wiring error) but i was wondering if there is supposed to be a setting at which this thing provides a clean boost? even with the boost switch off and the drive turned all the way down i get a bit of distortion.

thanks

by the way- i played through the circuit today for about an hour. it seems like it just keeps getting better and better.

John Greene	You would not be able to get a clean boost out of it unless you inserted some series resistance in with the diodes, or opened the connection to the diodes altogether. You would then get large amounts of boost. You may want to try putting a pot in series with the diodes and try that. --johng
