=====================

using passive components (similar to my other mods, with ease of
implementation and a small list of easy to find parts a high priority), i
haven't been able to get anything impressive along those lines.

what might work, is to break the connection carrying the signal you'd like
to overdrive (eg; audio input to filter) and insert some jacks to make an
insert loop, then insert a distortion pedal. i haven't tried it, but i've
got enough outboard effects that it's not high on my to-do list.

I have never understood the current fuss about
the open source software movement. In the
cryptography world, we consider open source
necessary for good security; we have for decades.
Public security is always more secure than
proprietary security. It's true for cryptographic
algorithms, security protocols, and security
source code. For us, open source isn't just a
business model; it's smart engineering practice."
