Catalinbread Heliotrope
This circuit is quite infamous for being quite noisy with oscillator bleedthrough just as for most Bit Crushers. ,And to make things worse, this one has a built in fuzz circuit that amplifies noise even more. Hopefully, the separate ground connections for the fuzz/output buffer section and the the oscillator will tame some noise.

Catalinbread CB30 V2
Recently traced by Aion Fx, here is the 8 transistor version of CB30. It is supposed to be a very good sounding Vox-esque overdive. With 8 transistors it was quite difficult to keep the size down but it will fit into a 125b with no problem.
Schematic, tracing journal and more info at Aion Fx.

Taking a break from the break since this one was too interesting to pass on and it was a quick layout.
