Sober DRIVE PRO

Rev.3.Oct.19.2006

Build Jack Ormans Overdrive PRO on this layout. At the request of the members of the Stompbox
Forum, I have created this versatile high gain overdrive. It was made by combining the following circuit
fragments: input gain stage is the Muffer, followed by the IC gain stage of the Fat Gnat, a tone control
from the Fender Pro Roc amp and the output buffer of a TS-808! High gain boutique sound at its best,
though not a clone of any existing pedal. Jack Orman. Jack Orman.Check
http://www.muzique.com/ for other great projects. Off board components except for the
potentiometers are not shown on the layout. Trademarks are property of their owners.
