From the vendor
Durham's overdrive, boost and fuzz, inspired by Neil Young's tone. A JRC4558 op-amp stage with diode clipping in its feedback loop and a Drive control feeds a unity-gain op-amp stage and then a Fuzz Face-style transistor fuzz (two 2N2222As) with a Fuzz control on Q2's emitter, a Darlington emitter follower (MPSA13s) and a passive tone and level. A Volts control sags the supply. The author wonders why the second op amp is not used to buffer the tone section instead.
