ToyroomFX Dark Side Overdrive

I really like this pedal and I'd like to make my own version of it so I took some gut photos. Let me know if it's not enough and if you need additional photos or info. I don't know how to make vero layouts and how to properly analyze every component.

I think the Toyroom guy posts here, so maybe he will just tell you what it is?

Ya, Tim will probably be along soon enough. It's either an Eternity or Zen variant. I can't remember which one the Dark Side was.

I really don't understand your problem?!? You've got a working layout in front of you. Why don't you start "do it yourself layout creator" and simply copy it? Maybe you'll need a chart for the resistor color codes, a datasheet for the pinout of the opamp and the trannies

Looks like an OCD to me, based on some parts and values I see.
