I built one of them OD-2s Mosfet style. I didn't do any of the things that you did to it, and it's still better than any that I have ever seen.

Yours must really be off the chain.
 
Did you do the MOSFET mod to the boost, too? If so, did you try punching up the gain by lowering the value of that 470 ohm resistor on the far right side of the board? I found I wanted more boost than the stock MOSFET circuit gave, so I dropped that down to 150 ohms, IIRC. You just have to be a little careful about going too low, or the boost will start distorting when cranked way up, rather than staying clean all the way up.
 
Yes I did lower it, but I didn't use an ohm meter. I worked up to the sweet spot, and it worked out kinda good. I didn't use the tone pot. wonder how that would sound?
