Where is the gain boost stage located in the signal path of the ODR-1X?

The gain boost stage is located after the sound-shaping distortion stage in the signal path. This means that the frequency range is also boosted. And by a whopping 29.5db! You should therefore switch on the boost in the moderate gain range to achieve a second sound. If the gain pot is set very low, there is a significant jump and, conversely, at very high gain ranges, not much happens because it is already heavily saturated anyway. Very good results are achieved when the gain pot is between 3-5. This function can be operated remotely via a foot switch.
