Hi Guys
Sunking question:
adding a 3 diode to the board will increase gain?
thx

zzzzzzzzzzz lol
I don't know where you want to add the diode but, normally when you add a diode from the signal path to ground the voltage drop will increase, consequently the volume will also drop a little, but then the clipping (aka distortion) will increase. But then it depends a lot on their specific voltage drop, and the way you connect them, series/parallel and symmetric/assymmetric.
The sunking/KLON is mostly used as a low gain booster, not a distortion unit :)
If you want gain, you should build another project maybe? :)
Hehe
I understand that. It's for the klon I build a months ago to the godfather of one of my daughters
He says that the unit could be a little more dirty... And not so loud... So I was building a TS with the comp option and I remember this option for the Sunking
For me the stock project is awesome with plenty of drive...

This. I think the Sunking performs poorly as a regular dirt box or foundation overdrive. Where it shines is when you have a slightly dirty tube amp and then use this bad boy to boost the front end of the amp.
I use the Sunking as my main source of overdrive. I think it shines there. It's all a matter of taste though as we know heh. To me it works very well, has tons of gain.
Have you considered a Kingslayer? Same sort of tone and breakup as the Sunking, but engaging the soft clipping in the feedback path gives a higher level of gain than I was ever able to coax out of a Klone.
