Well, an old unit is in the bench right now, so I traced (the switch just give up)
Is fully checked, but some values doesn't match with that old drawing we all know
Take a look and if in doubt, I can make some clarifying pics.

If you still have the unit on your bench, try to swap the tube for a 12AU7 (ECC82) and tell us what you hear after do that.
There are several reports from tube driver users indicating this stompbox suits better those lower gain tubes.

(José, maestrazo! Brava la cosa por ahí, no? Animo que han salido de peores!! )
In fact, this particular unit has a 12AU7 but sadly, I don´t have a 12AX7 to make a personal test. Any way, the owner said that a pleasant change happened, kinda "clean the thing out", but... and correct me please if I'm wrong: how many gain is the tube providing in that particular configuration? Tubes are not my expertise, so it will be interesting to know. I'm planning to do some test bypassing the tube section and have a clue of what is the opamp really giving, in terms of sound. The eq section is awful, to say the least, so I'll run some changes in a breadboard to bypass the original without mayor changes and see what can be improved.
We'll see...
