Dunwich Amplification General Discussion

So Ive had a few opportunities to play my DA120 (Sounds Killer at 18V and so far I've preferred it as a preamp fed by other dirt as apposed to an overdrive) but something seems off about the Depth Rotary Knob and I was curious if it is the same for anyone else and possibly supposed to be that way (I have a Wizard Fuzz and it operates differently).

The DA120 positions go from 9 O'clock to 2 O'clock with 9 being the least amount of low end distortion in the circuit. The odd part is that 10 O'clock makes a large jump up in low end distortion/volume and jumps back to lower again at 11 O'clock and progresses back up again from 12 to 2 O'clock. (Basically 10 O'clock sounds the same as 1 O'clock)

The wizard fuzz is the only other pedal I have with the same depth Rotary style knob and it moves up in distortion in a linear way.

I don't have the DA120 from this batch, but the Depth knob on my green monster works like the big Wizard's

That won't last long -- Surprised it was still there when I went to look :) Almost considering buying a second haha

VT's have slight variations in tone so it might be worth trying. My original Dunwich version has more low end and a bit less gain than my newer Magic Pedals release which is more crisp/focused-sounding.
