From the post

Taken from Black Arts website.

In all of it’s throwback glory, the Black Sheep. Dirty, mean spirited and a blast to hang around with. You can’t help but feeling a bit dirty when you plug in.

Essentially it's a modded BeeBaa with an input cap selector like you see on the Black Arts Black Forest. One thing I will say is that if you notice in the demo videos the fuzz knob is never turned up to the max, that's because it will start to feedback on itself like a mother.

Different transistors change tone of the effect. I messed around with different ones, and settled on MPSA18. They tamed a bit of the metallic decay that I heard with the 2N5089.
