Differences in Bluesbreaker and Bluesbreaker II?

I've built GGG's Bluesbreaker (Cool pedal, JD!), but these older style Bluesbreakers definitely don't have the heavier gain of the newer Bluesbreaker II pedals, and I've never been able to find a schematic for a Bluesbreaker II to compare.
Does anybody know the differences between the two circuits (or have a Bluesbreaker II schematic to share)?
Thanks,
Russ

I bought a BB 2 just before christmas and love the pedal.

I had a quick look inside it, apart from the usual opamp, there are also a couple of LEDs in the circuit, I assume to clip the signal, theres also 3 or 4 transistors.

When my tame photoshop person gets back to work I will get photos of the track side of the pedal superimposed over the componant side, so anybody who is interested can trace the PCB.
