    This makes it interact better with a guitar’s volume & tone knobs, but on the flip side it also interacts with the pedals that come before & after. Alongside the Azimuth, the Hadron has among the lowest parts count of any Aion FX project and is a very good starting point for new builders.

    The 330R resistor in series with the power supply will drop the voltage to the pedal and is part of the key to the sound. Some variants of the Eternity used 390R here. However, due to the slight ~0.2V voltage drop from D1 that was not present in the original, it’s recommended to stick with 330R. HADRON DYNAMIC OVERDRIVE...
