From the post
Modded slightly to include a Mid Range pot instead of the switch in the original to give you complete variable control of the mids frequency rather than just 3 preset values.
I've done the charge pump on a separate board in an attempt to keep it 1590B friendly by allowing you to tuck the charge pump board out of the way somewhere, but with 6 pots I don't think too many people will want to do this anyway, so maybe some would prefer to simply add 5 rows to the bottom of the main board to keep it all integrated. It will fit into a 125B with those extra rows.
As with other layouts I have included a couple of axial caps simply because I have them in that size, but there's no problem using radial in there if that's what you've got.
Info about the original:
Aggressive british crunch, classic heavy metal, brutal modern high gain or anything in between – the Dominator easily does the job.
This box has nothing in common with those overcompressed, artificial sounding "bedroom metal" distortion pedals that disappear in the mix if you try to use them in a real band situation. Raw natural gain structure, explosive attack, tight low end and great chord definition make the difference – the Dominator works equally well at home practice or stage level.
The active 3-band EQ with switchable mid range frequency provides effective and intuitive control over a broad range of sounds. (For extensive descriptions of the controls please refer to the user manual).
Just like the other OKKO drive pedals, the Dominator features an internal voltage doubler. The three gain stages and the EQ stage operate on different individually filtered voltages up to 18 volts for optimal dynamic response and very low noise performance.
The Dominator works best in front of a clean amp with some headroom, especially if you use very bass heavy "chugga chugga" settings.
Schematic

Check before you build · 3 values the reader of this layout was not sure of
- 51n at the right edge near Q2 / the 15V wire: printed clearly, unusual value
- 2u2 at the far left (grey box with a polarity bar) and 10u left of Q2 (box with a minus bar): polarised parts drawn as boxes rather than round cans, type assumed electrolytic
- 10K count (14): the board is dense and several 10K stand side by side around IC1 and IC2; one of them (left of the 15K, right of IC1) is partly hidden in the full view
