Morley MOD-D1B Distortion One

This one seems to be quite rare thing. You can score one for >$200 at ebay. It is Morley's vision of the MXR Dist+/DOD OD250, with some noticeable changes. Might be worth a build...

    1. I have built this and its a useful effect but found the distortion a bit too bunched up at the clockwise end. I notice that on the Tel-Ray schematic the resistor connected to Distortion 2 is 47K and not 4K7 as in this layout. I swapped the 4k7 for 47K and the response is more gradual. The amount of gain does not seem to be adversely affected. Just a thought.

    2. Thanks for noticing. Copy-paste error :)

      I fixed the value on the layout.

  4. Can a tone control be put in this? Or how can I brighten it up a bit?
