I saw this, doesn't look complicated, but I can't find much info on it in my search of Le Google.

Any help?

Clips on their website would help..
my guess is a Son of Screamer type circuit.

It looks curiously like Clark Gainster parts selection.

8 resistors, 6 capacitors (they've even used the big Russian paper in oil), opamp, diodes hidden with heat shrink.
Coincidence?:

there's always something about turret boards with ics that aesthetically bothers me...

Yeah it kind of looks like Flintstones meets Jetsons.

is that piece of metal on the switch of the gainster a battery clip? if so, it's an interesting way to do it.

I think it must be with the foam being there
