From the vendor

Ground Fault is a clone of Fuzzhugger FX's Arc Flash pedal that is, sadly, out of production. The trace is from the user Almondcity on the PedalPCB forums. The changes I've made to the trace are more filtering on the DC input and simplifying the coupling between the two transistors down to a single capacitor (see the notes), otherwise it is as presented in the trace. You can learn a little bit more about the circuit here and here.
