From the post
Here's an oldie but a goodie from Menatone. The Blue Collar was released around the same time as the Red Snapper and is more compressed and focused in comparison. It's also based around the Tube Screamer without the input buffers and with several mods. This layout reflects a newer version of the Blue Collar, but the older one can be built on the same board. Just increase the input cap to 100n, omit the 56p cap from pin 5 to ground, lower the output cap to 100n, and use an A250k pot for the Volume control. Here's the schematic for reference.
