Pleased to report that my experiment has succeeded! I have a fully functional CLANG machine. I think it is a bit more extreme than the samples I have heard of the DN online, but that's probably because most of the vids were people trying to rock out, with the exception of D'arcy. The CLANG checks the following boxes: blown out low end, glass shard highs, resonant ring moddish, octave, weird brass sounds when you do the neck tone at 0 trick, EQ'd boost, fuzzy OD.... and i haven't really gotten into stacking. Put a reverb in there it will gaze. Especially if you let the high end get nasty. Put a delay in there it can get trippy. It can do ambient, creepy stuff, too. It's not a blues od or stoner rock sounding fuzz and is capable of some horrible sounds. I can see how it is not everyone's cup of tea and if you didn't spend figuring how the controls work (pretty simple once you grasp the parallel mix concept) you would miss all it has to offer. I have made a few vids of a looper doing some knob twiddling so you can get the general idea. One thing it does not demonstrate is the touch sensitivity to it. The guitar volume knob can clean it up easily. Also the recording setup wont capture tube amp interaction or the overall vibe it gives to an amp in a room. Anyway, check it out, let me know what you think!
Well, I must say, I am thoroughly impressed with Ian's work so far. While I did warn him that the two transistors in the high section would be a pain to deal with, I believe that he's found an elegant solution to the issue. One that, at the time, I didn't bother taking into consideration because I just happened to have some transistors that fit the bill in stock, so I didn't bother fiddling with it any more than that. Nice to see this on the home stretch.

Quite impressive! Bravo Zulu sailor!
Appreciate it, man! As usual just standing on the soldiers of giants.
Rockin'
