Based on that famous Californian amplifier designer's overdrive special #124 with the 1988 skyline EQ mods fitted - the Baja Humble Overdrive Special in 9v pedal friendly format - not built or fine tuned or verified yet as I am waiting on some enclosures. I will probably use a 1590 BB enclosure for this one with two footswitches. I may also tweak the gain structure once I have built it so expect some revised schematic and layout possibly later in this thread. In the meantime, here are the schematics and vero layouts for those who would like to build it. Hope it works well and you enjoy it :wink:
cheers

update - I decided to leave out the Master Volume control and instead used a 100k resistor in it's place - here is the updated vero and a verified working build :wink:
I used a larger than the 1590BB enclosure to avoid using two lines of control knobs.

Ooh, fancy that with a Rat and a Muff in front of it! :mrgreen:
I wish I were a chestnut tree, nourished by the sun.
With twigs and leaves and branches and conkers by the ton.

There is an error in IC3a in the circuit diagram. It should be TL062
