From the post
zVex's new '59 Sound looks to emulate an overdrive '59 Fender Bassman amp and is essentially a tweaked Box of Rock. I've left out the boost section (which is essentially a SHO after this circuit), but can be easily added with the old SHO layout here on the blog.
Also, there's another installment of the DIYLC tutorial up on YouTube today. I actually am not using DIYLC all that much in it...
Schematic
This is a board layout, a drawing of where each part goes, and the post may link the schematic it was drawn from. Open the layout at Effects Layouts (blog). No KiCad fragment has been drawn for this circuit yet.
