I assume the red and black bits are for bias voltage readings and the pots for setting it? VERY NICE!! Whats the black knob do?

Thanks, I will build an external Dlator. I'll use a 12vac and then use a transformer to convert it to a high current (300v) internally. I was considering the ceriatone one but it's not tube buffered so it's not as punchy as the original one. One tube is enough.

Made a footswitch using an old footswitch enclosure. Gutted the inside and added the circuit and removed the graphics. Controls are OD/Clean, Jazz/Rock (not a standard feature for the ODS), Boost. It works perfectly.
