From the post
Info from the Menatone about the original:
The King of the Britains is based on the famous '67-'68 plexi that was all the rage in the eighties, but, this King is all hopped up on STEROIDS.
This little beast can take you from clean to scream at a twist of its Gain, or a turn of your guitars volume knob.
Demo of the 7 knob version:

Check before you build · 2 values the reader of this layout was not sure of
- 470K at the bottom, between the 560p and the right-hand 1K8 near Q2: partly hidden behind its neighbours, read as 470K
- 470R above Q6 at the top left: reads 470R when zoomed, although it looks like 470K at normal size
