MAS Distortion Rev.4.Dec.8.

2005

You can build either the MXR Distortion+ or the DOD Overdrive 250 in this board. Try different kinds of
diodes for clipping. These circuits are very similar, so much that they can be constructed around the
same printed circuit board. Use the parts list to substitute with the values for the circuit you choose to
build. Off board components except for the potentiometers are not shown on the layout. Registered

Schematic NOTES:
The original Dist+ used 500k
AC + R2 RevLog and 50k Log pots for
ADAPTOR “distortion” and “volume” controls
9v respectively. An advisable mod is
C1 R3 R4 to use 100k Log for “volume”
control, like the DOD. (Thanks for
the tip FretWire)
