From the post
Fender's take on trying to get EC's strat to sound like a Gibson. Some people seem to like it a lot, while others.. Not so much. But as i stumbled on a schematic, i thought this could work well as a pedal. With four transistors and not-so-simple design, there's little chance of fitting this onboard any guitar.. There are some non-standard values for the resistors, but as always, you should be fine with the closest ones you have. The layout doesn't have the magical TBX Tone control in it, but i've added another image that shows how to wire it up.
