From the post
Always a fan of the MXR Distortion+/DOD 250 as you all have probably figure out by now. Here's VFE's take on the classic circuit. Bunch of extra controls and mods including soft clipping, along with bass and tone controls. Schematic here for reference.

- 1uF at the right of the board (rows F-I): drawn as a rounded box, not a round can, so taken as a film cap rather than electrolytic
- Soft W1M and Hard W200K: taper letter W as printed in the legend
