MONA LISA OVERDRIVE LAYOUT

i was asked to post a layout for the MLOD, so here it is.  enjoy!  i tried this circuit out with 2n5457, j201, and j309 fets.  they all work fine..  the Q2 position is where most of the magic is.  try different transistors for different tones.  i enjoyed a 2n5210 with an Hfe of 250-300 there, myself.  it had nice midrange content without sounding muddy.  the images are at 600 dpi, a current limiting resistor for the LED has been added, and the gain pot can go up to 10k  that's all you have.  this circuit is a great sounding boost/light OD/ line driver/buffer. i hope you dig it!

take it easy!
