Where can I find a schematic or PCB for this pedal? I'd like to build a good "clean boost" pedal and this one was mentioned...are there better ones?

I couldn't find a website for Dragonfly Fx's. Could someone steer me in the right direction?

TIA

Andy has asked that we not post any schems, but has provided a Veroboard layout...

You can use JD's GGG GEB layout - which is used for the AMZ MOSFET boost as well as the Rangemaster. It's at http://www.generalguitargadgets.com/diagrams/geb_pcb.gif

From the vero layout you can workout the connections. The GEB is not a perfect fit, you will need to bend the legs of the FET to get the DSG to match the CEB, but the rest is straight forward. What I ended up with was just a good as any other layout.

Build one, they are great! It is also very loud at full volume. When I built mine I had forgotten to connect the earth lead on my test rig and left it switched on with the headphones on while I re-connected it. I nearly blew my eardrums out.
