Just a head's up: I noticed that you fused the line voltage on the opposite side of the switch. If the fuse is on the neutral side and blows, the circuit can still be live from the ground connection. It is better to place the fuse in series with the switch on the hot side. Then if it blows, it will kill the power completely. Understand that many amp manufacturers (like Fender) made this mistake when transitioning from the non-grounded 2-conductor line cord where an interruption on either conductor would stop current flow, to the grounded cord, 3-conductor cord.

I tested the amp in studio and sound amazing but I think that the overdrive appears very early. how can I get more clean with a good volume? thanks
