Boss OS-2 layouts, where are they?

Why aren't there any Boss OS-2 layouts? It looks like a pretty cool combination dirt pedal. Sure I could buy one, but it's easier to build it. Any ideas?

Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

I used to have one. It wasn't very good at overdrive or distortion. People found out it's better and sometimes cheaper just to buy a used DS-1 AND an SD-1.

I've heard some and some modded ones. I just would like to build one. I just play at home now.

It's a pretty terrible pedal stock, but an interesting concept and something that should have potential. I've thought about doing one just to put it out there in hopes that the community will be inspired to come up with some mods to make it great.

There are some pretty neat mods out so far. It would be cool to see more. I don't need the pedal, I just want it.  I've been in a dirt pedal kick lately.

I'm gonna stick up for the OS-2. I think it's a cool pedal, especially on the OD side. It's bright and can be harsh/brittle sounding at some settings, but I find I can get a fantastic bright boosted lead tone from it. I think it would be an interesting candidate for modification, so I would also be interested in a PCB if one was available.
