I've built two true bypass Klons now and both circuits sound absolutely shit. I can barely touch the volume knob and it's super loud. With the gain knob down, it sounds like a distortion/fuzz. Turning the gain up turns it into a super fuzz monster. The tone knob only makes it brighter.
I built both board with care and I've been over them several times. The boards are absolutely 100% to the layout with no bridges anywhere. Both boards sound
exactly the same.
I think it needs to be checked.
