    bro you're awesome! would love to know if you can do a variation of this mod on a 2 knob guitar. I have a squire mustang and was thinking would be awesome to something like this. But I don't really know if it would work because it's only two knobs volume and tone. If you have any idea please let me know! Thanks

    @@Ale-ry9qf hallo😀 it depends on how willing you are to mod the pickguard because you can add another pot and just have 3 controls, or you could make a smaller switch that will add the distortion if you want to. But if you don't want to change the look of your guitar by drilling holes in it you could either turn the tone pot into a dis pot (likw I did) or you could wire this up in a box 👍😉👍

    I have the lm386 and an old klon enclosure and want to build a lm386 as boost to a switch dpdt with distortion and another switch with Fuzz. So the fuzz and distortion can be off, on the boost only part of the circuit. But when the first switch is changed it has clipping diodes. The next switch gives fuzz and distortion or using the first switch fuzz and boost lm386 only. Ya dig 😂 Any hints

    You can add a _potentiometer_ after the *2 inverted diodes* to kinda have a "distortion" control knob. And even try that with the other components. Juste an idea I thought of, I should try it myself...

    I just did this mod, and it works good so far. FUN fact, the wet signal point is before the effects volume knob, so it's 100% wet all the time. So if you turn the effects knob down to zero, you get the original output to be 100% dry and your wet is 100% wet. I didnt fully understand the pedal structure till doing the mod. What you said makes more sense after the fact. Thanks for you help.

    ok. i got a handful of them zener diodes. and a lm386, so your easy swap test pedal threw me, as to the location of the "clipper pair" in the signal path. scratching my head i think " it only makes sense to clip the amplifyed signal prior to the speaker output... i know a mag. pickup wont produce enough signal to clip. maybe an active one will.... IDK. im not sure what your setup is. you made single lm386 pedals, parallel lm386 pedals, have you run any in series? im planning on starting with 1 - lm386 module. unfortunately, i have the lower wattage N-1 opamp. 👍🏻

    Try adding a 555 circuit with an envelope filter and expression pedal on the envelope so you get an oscillation with an adjustable timed delay arpeggio type sound.. is how the fart box works except they add a sample bite into the mix.. the way your “experimenting” with the circuit youre going to end up burning out that chipset.. it gets pretty crazy when you start adding modules into the mix yourself as long as youre understanding the circuit as a whole. Good electronic learning path to take..

    To offset the signal leech/volume loss from the passive tone boards, just add a PAM8403 (mono) or PAM8406 (dual channel) gain/amplification module. You can get 50-100 of them for like $10-20. Use a voltage regulator to convert the 9v power supply to somewhere between 3v to 5v (if you don’t do this you will burn out the op amp). These are similar to the LM386 modules but they’re cheaper, smaller, and I personally prefer their tonal quality. But yeah, they’re suuuuper simple to use and it would solve your volume issues.

    The most fun things imo to play around with are when you add knobs to like the delay time or you make a feedback. You can play with the resistor on the time knob (if you add one) and you can play with the pot value, giving you different delay times. To add feedback, if i remember right, you can have wires going off one of the bigger capacitors connecting it and a ground to a pot. The yellow one you used i liked alot if it was just a tad louder maybe even slightly brighter. The cap pot was super cool. I bet if you put 2 or more together and change the pitch of each repeat for each board you could make weird pitch rhythms.

    What would be very cool on this project would be an three-position A/B/AB switch to route the input signal to either LM386 or both, and an indicator LED for each to show when it is active. An alternate approach might be to leave the signal routing as-is, but use a three position switch to route power to each half of the circuit as desired. Very awesome project you’ve got here.
