 RotorDrive is my first attempt at building a solid state DIY Guitar Overdrive. Design is based on a dual transistor gain stage for power overdriving.

 When "DRIVE" switch is closed, unit is in Overdrive mode, with highly distorted sound and weird harmonics.
+The sound of this medal is somehow quite "brute force". I recommend to combine it with a tone shaping network like the [[basic tone filter]] proposed here.
+The volume output pot is optional, recommended mainly for assembly in a case on a final product.

 The "DRIVE" switch is SPT1.

 Generally, this schematic can be easily extended on use. Consider having a good power supply regulation, according to the gain of this dual stage.
+Note : R13 should not be installed, it has been added for simulation purpose. The output of this pedal is the tip of the volume potentiometer.
