It seems that the apparent loudness is lower when the pedal is engaged even with the fuzz and level dimed. With the fuzz - as you begin to bring it from off to f...

Successful first build - Tweak-O Pedal

So I was reading this thread the other day and decided I'd try this out on a particularly difficult vocal I've been having a bit of trouble with and it ended up sounding super awesome.
