From the post
Got a request for this one, and it's an interesting Big Muff variant. If you're a fan of Muse you're probably already familiar with this one. There's a germanium input stage followed by a fairly standard Big Muff circuit. Here's the schematic for reference. It would be a tight squeeze in a 1590B even if you wired the pots off board, but probably doable. Otherwise it should fit nicely in a 125B with top mounted jacks.

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.
