Great looking board, shame about the goop.

Guessing it's a fuzz face and a tweaked tube sound fuzz/Red Llama derivative.

man, all I can ever say is- why??? like there are that many people out there wiling to steal the design of your precious fuzzbox. :roll: that's assuming its some level of original design of course- something that usually goes immediately out the window in this situation. but, due to the level of construction, I've got an inkling of hope that it's not a complete ripoff in this case.

Is it just me, or do these guys label their pot lugs the reverse of the rest of the world?
... multiple LFO waveforms (saw up, saw down, triangle, square); a more flexible envelope with attack/release controls as well as inverted envelope. I am afraid it will have more knobs than the TGP annual convention - frequencycentral

I see some clipping diodes on the fuzz face side. So it's not a straight up copy.

yup, sure do. also, on the circuit on the left, I see back to back diodes attached to a pot, so I would guess some sort of IC based overdrive.
