Does anyone have this pedal? I really like its sound, but I have no opportunity to buy it. Based on the gut shots I found on the Internet, it looks like a hybrid between op-amp and classic big muff

If someone is also interested in this pedal and he can understand the circuit, or at least the principle of operation of this pedal, I would be very grateful

Looks like a opamp wrapped big muff with asymmetrical clipping using. One stage has a 1N4001 and red LED, and the other has a pair of 1N4001.
then the second opamp is driving the Octavia style circuit, something similar a Neo-octavia. Just guessing.
