Barber Direct Drive

You asked for it, so here it is: the Barber Direct Drive. This layout follows the new compact version with 2 toggles–one for harmonics, the other for gain. The circuit itself is very similar to the original Tone Pump circuit with a few modifications. Should fit nicely in a 1590B.

    1. The SPDT is an on/on in the original. You could try the on/off/on though.

  6. It's awesome, build it and works excellent. Actually we have OD and Distortion (80's Hair Rock) in one pedal. It's verified and recommended to build.

  7. I've built it but i am getting almost no gain at all. All traces seem to be ok. Can you give me some advice to troubleshoot this? Thank you very much!
