Way Huge Angry Troll

So I randomly stumbled across the schematic for this one over at FSB and as always thought it would be a nice addition. Just like any other Way Huge pedal I think it sounds badass.

From the Source:

The mighty Angry Troll Linear Boost Amplifier from Way Huge
Electronics serves up generous portions of volume and gain to pummel the
input of your amp with up to +50dB of gain. It adds bite and punch
while transforming your mild mannered tone into a beastly sonic
onslaught! The Angry Troll’s two controls interact like a vintage mic
pre amp. The Anger knob-a rotary switch with six Fists of Fury
positions-adjusts the amount of gain created by the Troll’s op-amp,
while the Volume knob regulates the overall output level. High grade
components are used for a precisely tuned circuit that works like an
extension of your amp. Another tone monster from the mind of Mr. Huge!

Layout 1: Stock Normal Layout

Layout 2: Was kinda requested below. Modded to remove the fist switch, which controls the gain, and replace it with a pot. Quick note about this is that the way the switch is wired when it’s at position 1 it has the most resistance allowing a clean tone. according to my calculations at Sw1 there should be 62.5k resistance, and since there’s no 62.5k pot you could use a 100k or 50k pot. Nice thing about doing this is the board shrunk, all pot wires are connected to the board, will give more options for grit, and it should be a stupid simple build.
