Based on one of the most popular DIY Builds the original Red Llama™ by Way Huge™. Our version also includes an
added Gain Stage for those people want more available Gain (Distortion). We do this without sacrificing the original
circuits unique tone by adding a clean stage at the end of the circuit. Furthermore, we used Gain mapping to make it
when the Boost control is turned down full CCW you get the exact same great tone as the original Llama with the
ability to add more Gain by turning the Boost control up CW from there. This will create more available distortion
than the original circuit while preserving the character of the original. We have also added a Hot Switch at SW1. Use
these options separately or together to adjust your final sound or set Boost to full CCW for stock tone.

- Page 2 SCHEMATIC STATUS LED Note: If wiring the LED to our 3PDT board no need to connect S4, S5 & S6 or populate D2 or R28 (CLR) on the main board since you are wiring your LED directly to our board. Be sure your In/Out Jack wiring is correct.
- Page 3 IMPORTANT NOTES *R3/SW1 (Hot Switch) R3 can be anything between 100k and 1M, although a range of 270k to 330k is suggested. This affects the level of gain in one position of SW1. The lower you go, the more difference there will be between the 2 settings of the switch.
