A year or two back, I found a schematic for an overdrive pedal on someone's personal website, I cant remember the name but it was one of the more seasoned individuals who posts around here. I dont think it was Jack Orman, definately not RG's Geofex, and I dont believe it to be Mark Hammer. Wasn't Dragonfly either. It was a 2-knob overdrive pedal without any diodes, using a dual opamp. Gain control was a pot to ground after the first stage and volume control was a pot to ground after the second. The individual claimed it to be one of his favorites. I cant remember what it was based off of, or anything. I know it is not a Red Llama. Testing my memory here a bit, but I believe the website had green font, and I believe the picture of the pedal was brown, but this is 2 years later and a lot more flux fumes later as well.
Anyone up for a scavenger hunt? Winner gets my respect! And gets three-fifty paypalled to them. Just drop some names so I can google 'em. Thanks!

Nope, definately not tonepad. It was someone's personal website, showing pictures of the epdals they had built. I cant remeber the guys name.
Perhaps it was Paul Marossy, who has his site diyguitarist.com?
Aaron Nelson's ''Smash Drive''
Mark Hammer's ''Chaos''
... or something else from THIS PAGE? (http://www.diyguitarist.com/DIYStompboxes/MyStompboxes.htm)

That's what I was thinking too. Though I don't quite remember seeing Paul having a pedal up that matches that description, but my memory is horrible. Might be worth having a look.

This one?
But I guess since you've found what you're looking for, it doesn't matter. But, if you can access it, have a look at Paul's site too.

Hah, not $350, it was $3.50. And it was virtual internet dollars. Like in that south park episode.
Thanks for the help.
