From the post
Don't bother asking for a schematic. One doesn't exist. This layout is based on FSB thread on the subject.... (yes, you'll need to log in to see it)
---
The thread at FSB got wind under its wings after this layout, so the questionable values are finally confirmed. Here's the final layout with updated values (56n -> 22n and 10n -> 100n).
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 Tagboard Effects. No KiCad fragment has been drawn for this circuit yet.
