Dr. Scientist Sounds The Elements Distortion

The Elements starts with the Cleanness, a simple op amp
buffer and booster with active tone controls for bass, mids, and treble.
A few things were added to this platform such as the option to limit
the bass into the gain stage, three midrange frequency options, clipping
diode options of LEDs, asymmetrical silicon/LED, or no diodes at all,
and then the high gain mode puts a second gain stage into the circuit
that the previous options all affect.

The circuit goes like this:

Buffer
> Midrange control (I just think it sounds best at the front!) >
Bass limit toggle > Gain stage (same as Cleanness) > Gain option
toggle > Second gain stage > Bass control > Treble control (I
just think bass and treble go best at the end!) > Buffer

The
mix control is at the output and when set dry (knob down all the way)
the signal only goes through the input buffer stage and then connects
with the output buffer of the wet path.

It's got soft touch
relay based true bypass switching, 9-18VDC operation, fancy 4 layer pcb
with internal power and ground planes plus bottom layer ground plane,
the expression jack on the side is for the clean blend/mix and around
50k is good, the box is a 125B same size as the new Trem, and a lifetime
warranty.
