That tone control does *very* little, so little that taper is almost irrelevant,
They specify a hard to find "C" taper, a linear "B" one would be better and much much easier.
The "Presence" switch does nothing, specially at typical presence frequencies.
Any smaller cap you add in parallel with a 1uF one has negligible effect and that would be lowering the cutoff frequency, increasing "mud", not exactly what Presence is supposed to do.
Out of curiosity I checked their SlowLoris (Rat) pedal.
As is it doesn't work and at best will provide "ratty" distortion, in he bad meaning of the word.
If the rest of the Madbean pedals have such errors, (didn't check them yet) it does not look like a trusty info source.
Oh well.

My guess would be to start with something closer to what you want.  Maybe Joe Davidson's Vulcan or similar.

well, i want something that gets the van halen tone on his first album but more gain

this is the sound i want, do you think it could be achieved in a pedal, because i think he gets the sound trough a tube amp, but i have a valvestate, it isnt very pedal friendly.
could anyone help me design this pedal?
i once linked 2 mxr dist+ and i almost got the tone, would it work to link 3/4 in one box?

grtz

Only that?
Why don't you ask for something difficult?
 ;)
 :lmao:

Now getting serious; anybody who had such a pedal would be a millionaire by now.
See that even the original Suhr Riot gets a killer sound ... plugged into a TUBE amp, even if it's the "Clean channel"
First thing that pedal will do, is saturate a triode !!!
And even so, the demo gets the best sound *adding* a Suhr Boost !!!
No, it's not that easy, by a long way.
*BUT* you can build 3 relatively simple Distortion+ in a box, and achieve a similar gain and clipping level.
Do it and post results.
PD: it's not a crazy idea, RAT made the RD2U which was 2 RATs in a single rack enclosure, so .....  :dbtu:
PD2: don't complain about the hiss, buzz, etc. Even the Suhr demo shows some ... and he's using a $5000 guitar.
