From the post
The Morpheus is a high gain distortion designed for metal players. It comes with the warning: "A hard out distortion pedal not for the faint of heart." It promises big low end and crunchy highs. Here's a demo:
The power filtering on this seems a bit extreme to me, but I've laid it out with the stock 1000µ and 220µ caps from 9v to ground, and 220µ and 22µ caps from 4.5v to ground. If you don't have some of those values on hand, try lower ones. Also, the pot numbering may have been reversed from normal on the schematic I drew this from, so be warned.
