A few years back, I saw a pic of an Orange Distortion that someone built, and it had a mids pot on the side. I've seen the 'more mids' mod in the BYOC Orange instructions, but I'd prefer something adjustable.

Anybody got any info?

I've not done this mod on this circuit, so it is better to socket the referenced component positions in case it doesn't work out.

The orange distortion uses a modified big muff tone control. The typical mid range control for this circuit is based off of Jack Orman's "new AMZ Tone Control": http://www.muzique.com/lab/tone3.htm

To complete this on the orange distortion, do the following:
- Change the tone pot to a B100k
- Change R15 to a 39k
- Change C11 to a 100n
- Replace R24 with a 25K pot

The new 25k pot becomes the mids control. There are other ways to do this, but these values should work very well.
