Ran across a demo of this one, and some of the sounds are just what my son is looking for. I've been Googling for the schematic or layout, but no luck so far. I was thinking there might be someone who had it archived. Thanks! Larry S.

As I recall, the Godzilla is two separate circuits. The first circuit is the Vintage Fuzz Master, and the second is the GZ.

Both circuits are variants of the Soda Meiser, and are identical except for the final transistor. The VFM uses a 2N2907A, and the GZ uses a 2N2222A. The collector faces ground in both cases.
You should be able to find a schematic of the SM/VFM by searching these forums.

I'm not sure of the wiring arrangement. Madbean has a nice diagram for wiring two independent circuits into one box (it's in the footswitch PDF in the "Tutorials" section). That's what I'd start with.

Thanks for giving me a direction to head in! I figured it was a combo box, but didn't run across any particulars...you can find stuff about the Hyperion, for example, with one search, but Godzilla doesn't come up except for videos.

Pretty sure there's a write-up containing most of the Devi circuits and a list of the combos used in the dual pedals on Scribd.
