In my journey of exploring the different overdrive, distortion and other dirt circuits, I finally got around to completing one of Barry’s “Best Ever O. D.” circuits. I’d watched the video demos of BE OD pedals and Barry’s rendition thereof and wasn’t really excited, but noted enough differences in the schematic to garner an interest. So, I delved into the project and built it stock, according to the build docs.


I really like it when my Photoshop mockups come so close the the end result. The only difference here is that I used a plain aluminum enclosure instead of white.

This things sounds great with an excellent range of rock tones. Thanks Barry!
