I see where you're coming from now. Yeah, if you're limited to one knob then it should be the crackle okay.
-
@1Doz okay maybe we're misunderstanding each other. I agree that a master volume is a good idea if you want to get the distortion. I meant if you only had one knob, an output volume instead of the crackle okay wouldn't be a good choice, as the gain on full doesn't sound that great. cheers.

Oh I think it might. An output level knob would let you crank it to distortion without having to bludgeon the front end of your amp. That is, it would be a master volume. Colorsound added an output level control to the reissue Overdriver pedal for this very reason. Back in the day it was designed as a clean boost, but it turns out it crunches nicely when cranked. The extra control lets it get grindy while keeping the volume to the amp at a reasonable level. Same logic here.

@1Doz: no it wouldn't, but what would you want to achieve? get rid of the crackle? look a the "Crackle not okay" by soulsonic, he uses a pregain knob. The output level knob only turns down the volume, but if you have the pedal on full bore, it distorts a lot, and not in a pretty way (at least not when the amp is clean). The superduper for example uses the concept of a volume knob plus a gain knob, that way you can set the amount of drive.

Seems like this pedal could be improved with an output level knob. Or would that be over complicating things?

There are so many clones with the same transitor,the same internal parts but half price =P

@Zachain That's what a booster does. But this also increases clarity in your signal.
-
@dmk2113 no...but i could learn.

@bobert995 do you know how to solder?

That's the crackle. But that's okay.

how would I increase the clarity like this pedal does without spending so much on the pedal?
