This one was a PITA to draw with its four dual op amps and two buffered Vref lines. So it didn't came out 125b friendly and it has more links than I prefer...
I think a simplified version with two IC's would sound almost identical: Omit IC3 and IC4, turn the output buffer into a summing amp, with a mix knob or a volume knob for the clean signal. The clean signal would be limited to unity gain, unless you add gain to the input buffer, but who cares? By the way: it's a clean layout, I like it
All the stuff you're posting is interesting Anders. I haven't had time to build as much. I'm sure we're all thankful for the distractions. It'd be nice to see some schematics for the new GCI stuff that Kurt is demoing on YouTube. Actually that Black Lives Matter fuzz looks pretty cool. Dunno if it would feel unethical nicking a charity build. I think it's a bender followed by a Rangemaster if I recall correctly. Hope everybody's well.
Hey Tom, thanks for the inspiration! I did a layout of the BLM pedal based on the schematic using the Stripboard app by Harold Sabro. It sounds very cool! If there is a way that I can share it with you I will.
Tag it! I had the original twice and seemed to be in the minority who thought it was a bit plain and stiff sounding. This one actually sounds much better :-))

DeleteNice, I'll have to look for that app.
