From the post
I thought I'd post a separate thread about this with it being a totally new layout to avoid confusion during comments in the thread. A few things about the last layout irked me and so I've done a fresh layout which ended up 1 column narrower and so makes it less tight in a 1590B. There are also less links required, includes the reverse polarity protection diode and supply current limiting resistor found in the original but which I omitted from the first layout, and makes better use of the space IMO. Anyway, now you can make whichever layout you prefer.
Information from the builder:
This very mild overdrive was inspired by an old Supro amp, there is special kind of warm mild overdrive that you can't find from any other amp (or pedal what so ever). Works very well with other pedals or distorting amp giving this fat and warm overdrive character.
The pedal is also super dynamic, from clean to overdrive just by using different touch of your hand.
