Distortion Circuit Issues
I'm attempting to design a simple-ish distortion pedal with a single hard clipped gain stage, custom EQ tone stake into a buffer but I'm not having much success. I feel like Im missing something obvious here. Power at opamp and the biasing reads correctly and I have sound on the first op amp only, nothing on the output of the whole circuit so it gets lost somewhere around the tonestack or maybe before. The sound coming out of the first opamp has some gain but its not effected by the gain knob moving and the clipping led I have in place of the 1n314 isnt lighting up so I think theres issue all round tbh. Have I got the inversion wrong here, any ideas? Cheers! I feel like its something obvious but am snow blind currently.
