From the post
Needed to do a simple circuit after all those involved 6 onboard pots layouts. They're exhausting ;)
This is Nick Greer's take on the classic Electra Distortion, but with one simple twist: the Blend control allows you to blend in the clipping stage. Expect some volume loss with the diodes blended into the signal, but it will give a bit more crunch and compression.
