Here's a little Ibanez SD-9 clone I whipped up late last year.  Just got around to building it this weekend.  I took the suggestions of duhvoodooman and guitarmageddon and utilized the unused half of the op-amp for a little volume recovery.  I'm not sure if I did any of the other mods they suggested as it's been about 8 months since I did the PCB layout and I'm not always good about making notes.  But I'm thinking everything is stock values.

Top notch. It even looks roomy inside.  :o

Love the aesthetic, too. Looks like a workhorse of a box.

Great build, Chuck.  :)

What is your opinion on the tone of the circuit?

This is awesome!  Didn't know what an sd9 is, but I do now...!

Are those board mounted pots?  Killer graphics for those knobs.  And another great layout!

Thanks fellas.  I also added a couple wire pads for extra clipping options, which I did not use.

I would say it's pretty much a classic overdrive/distortion but with less mids.  Maybe a bit more dirt then most.

They are just 9mm pots attached with some vero and wire.
