PenToad +
Similar to the "Pentoad" boost circuit, but this version introduces 1N60 diodes to clip the signal. Having the gain turned down will give you the sound and feel of the original pentoad circuit, whilst doing the opposite gives you a mid gain overdrive type sound. Cranking the gain knob will get you into fuzz territory. For my personal build I put two of these exact circuits in series in a single enclosure, gets really fuzzy that way. It should be noted that while the 5678 will work in the original, it will NOT work in the "+" version.
