Danelectro Fab Overdrive

Someone mentioned that the circuit in an earlier post would have possibly been an inspiration for this one. Not sure if i share the sentiment, since that 80's japanese design and this have basically, or in quite broad terms, just the gain pot method in common with each other.

Anyway. Quite a few people seem to lke this ultra-cheap OD. And what's not to like. There's a nice, loud clipping amp followed by tuned TS-style tone control. Not that complicated, but sure does sound nice.

  1. Built this couple nights ago and it works. So this is tagged.

    Tone was a bit too bassy and dark for my taste so i modded it afterwards. For those who feel the same, you could try lowering the 4K7 to 1K on IC pin 5.

    C taper for gain is something i'd also recommend.
