Description

So...this is an experiment of mine. I designed this distortion circuit two years ago, and it is some sort of compressing distortion, made to be not a typical fuzz pedal while being relatively simple. Here it is being captured with various sweep levels from -15 to 0 dB, and it's almost like having a boost in front of it (at -15 it sounds the closest to plugging directly in the input). I should build an impedance matching circuit, driving pedals with line level isn't always the wise choice, but this is a sound, enjoy.

A buffered pedal in front will solve the impedance issue.
