On the Route (66) +1

Overview
This is based on a DOD 250™/ MXR Dist+ overdrive which is a straight-to-the point distortion unit.

In addition to that Brian Wampler has written a nice article in premierguitars which discussed a lot of modifications to
optimize the circuit http://www.premierguitar.com/articles/mxr-distortion-plus-mods-1

Those mods are switchable on the OD67 board. The most usefull one (which the builder is to decide) can be routed to
the on-board switch.

General
This circuit has polarity protection and some basic powerline filtering.

Building
Start populating the diodes and resistors first. Put the IC socket in next. Last are the ceramic and film box capacitors,
then the electrolytic.
 The board mounted pots need to go onto the other side of the board. Use
some (double-sided) tape to make sure the pot cases do not shorten any
pins that come through the board. As you solder them it is good practice to
apply some solder to the middle pin first, then pull it back or approx. 1mm
and let it harden. Then solder the other pins. This will align the pot
horizontally in a better way and avoid shortcuts of the wide pot pins and the
board.

Don’t forget to clip of the small bracket before you mount the circuit.

Enclosure
Drilling a 1590B enclosure (measurements in mm)

Check your printout for correct measurements before drilling!

Finally
This is a basic but very good sounding and versatile overdrive effect. Have fun.
