The pedal has been modded with two additional switches to change the tone stack voicing and the gain mode. It can be run at up to 18V. Components should work at 24V too but I have not tested it.

I'm running a Kartakou Warmer in front of the Draco. It's a tube screamer clone with true bypass. Signal is only affected when the blue LED lights up.

The Draco pedal output is going straight into the line in of my audio interface. In the DAW I'm running the following effects: TPA-1 Power Amp VST (available free from Ignite Amps) and mixIR3 IR loader VST with Soldano 4x12 V12 IRs by Dr. Bonkers. Also some slight EQ (shallow high pass/low pass) and room reverb.

You can also run this pedal in front of an amp but in my opinion it works best as a preamp pedal into the FX return of a guitar amp or a dedicated power amp.
