How current is the RM Octavia schematic?

I've seen an RM Octavia schematic floating around. They all seem to be the same, eg the one on http://www.tonepad.com/project.asp?id=66\

Does anyone know how that compares to the current production spaceship pedals?

Even better yet if someone has a Octavia VISION schematic that would be awesome.

I'm looking for the sound from this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKV25LPUekg

The only other audio I can find the the one HERE with a kid playing the tonepad version of the pedal, but unfortunately the audio is awful. So I can't tell if it's the sound I'm looking for.

I not really looking for the sound of the Tycho octavia.

I'd hate to waste my time building the tonepad RM Octavia if it's not the same or very similar circuit/sound as the one in the first youtube video I posted.

getting the hendrix/uli roth octavia sound is tricky..it depends on how you set your pickups/tone controls/picking style..etc..works best with single coils in the bridge position..with the volume rolled back...some of the mayer effects have a optical switch so you wave your foot over it to bypass/engage the effect..other than that no difference in sound

It's not really "THEIR" tone per se

I'm interested in the tone from the Octavia Comparison video I posted first in my post.

I just don't know if the schematic floating around is an old version or a more current version of the RM Octavia Spaceship model.

I like that thin octave sound from the first video.
