Pink Jimi Photon's Transmission ODVerified

From the post

Incorporating couple of cool ideas, here' one from the man, Pink Jimi Photon. Note that the master volume control is optional and anything smaller than 1M will probably hurt the output level. The level should be within reasonable limits without it.

Here's the original description:

Positive it's been done a gazillion times before. but one little twist... i added a simple control to be able to "pan" between the two clippers... one made with 1n4001's (slower clipping for the lows) and one with 1n4148's (faster clipping for the highs)... it works, kinda sorta.. it's more noticeable at some settings than others, it's mostly useful for dialing in "touch sensitivity"..

the tone control is what it is, fairly simple and crude... but for one freekin' transistor, it actually works pretty well!! at least i think it does..

i didn't put a master volume on it. you just crank up the gain to where ya want it. unity gain is about 8:00, above that it just kinda gets more saturated (and a bit louder)...

how does it sound? kinda like a tube screamer. ::) which wasn't what i really expected at all... it's a kinda nasal middy overdrive, cleanish, but enough to bump an amp into a really nice natural overdrive sound.
