From the post
"The DRAGON HOUND is a dual overdrive + distortion pedal that combines the core circuits from the Alpha Dog and Pale Horse into one unique dirt box. Each circuit has a dedicated drive control, and the blend control can dial in saturated distortion tones that retain the clarity of an overdrive."
You can find their original pedal (now discontinued) on their website here and the original schematic here.

Check before you build · 4 values the reader of this layout was not sure of
- 14K3 x4: printed clearly, unusual value
- the two 10u capacitors are drawn as dark red discs like the ceramics, not as cans: type not stated (likely tantalum)
- 7660s: printed short, could be ICL7660S or TC7660S
- which JFET is 2n5484 and which 2n5458 is taken from the margin labels nearest each part
