There's 2 extra resistors in the schematics for the LEDs but they weren't in the original pedal. Any idea what that's about?
Possibly a resistor from the base to the emitter, as that is common practice in building an amplifier from a BJT. Or maybe a limiting resistor on the input, as that is another common thing to attenuate the input signal, so that it doesn't drive the amp into clipping(basically a fixed volume on the input). Like basically how you can set your amp to distort with your guitar playing then back the volume of the guitar down to clean it up. The amp gain is still the same, just the input signal is attenuated.
