From the post

While the circuit offers nothing completely new, i still think this is pretty nice distortion pedal. Should fit in B-box without any worries. It has a bypass buffer in it, so you'll need just a 2PDT stomp switch to get LED indication - If you don't want the LED, then omit the LED resistor from the board and use SPDT stomper.

From the manual:

The Diamond Distortion has three controls: DRIVE, TONE & LEVEL. Understanding these controls will help you to get the sound you are looking for. The DRIVE control determines the amount of distortion by driving up the input signal. See diagrams in the sample settings section of this manual. Keep in mind that your overall sound is a product of your guitar, amp, pickups, effects, cables, strings and of course - playing style. The TONE control allows you to adjust the tone of your sound from a subtle bass frequency to a biting treble sound. Again, refer to the sample setting section of this

manual for hints. The LEVEL control adjusts your overall output level when in distortion mode. Adjust this control to equal the level of the distortion to the bypassed signal OR turn it up past halfway to get a boost when you engage the distortion.
