I built this a while back, but didn't post it (at least that I can remember).
Due to the proprietary nature of this build, I cannot say what circuit is in there. My only regret is that I didn't goop it before sending it out, now somebody will be able to disassemble it and figure out what circuit it is.

That looks mysterious and awesome in al it's fuzzy glory. Just put your lawyers on stand by and prepare to make millions.
Damn, I know we go for the fancy schmancy stuff here, but I have to say: that's probably the coolest finish and graphics I've seen in a very long time. Simple, and simply stunning.
It's a shame that nobody will ever figure out what's going on behind all the goop.
I think that's the most tasteful use of schematic imagery I've seen on a pedal, I'd remember it if I'd seen it before. 8)
Goes to show that excessive exposure to 1/8W resistors leads to SMD too. ;)
That is one beautiful build. I love the way the blue pops and the orange led is perfect. As mentioned above, the graphics are sweet as well (as always)!
Wait... what circuit was that again? ;)
I may be totally missing something, but it says Tubescreamer on the photobucket page... and it looks like a Tubescreamer... Anyway, this is a perfect build as usual! Love the blue and the minimal labling.
Superb build! The pins + jumper thing is a great idea, it takes less space than a DIP switch but gives you more options than soldering a jumper.
Oh, and I really love that blue, too. And the etch is superb as always.
Thats awesome.
But why did you put the schematic up front if you want to make it a secret?
;D
You should have gooped the schematic on the outside of the pedal.
Dumbledropper? :)

Haha I love this thread! ;D
LOL
Love how sarcasm cant be inferred from text...
Looks awesome!
Tube screamer likely on top, but the secret is what's hiding down below?
I'm guessing a tube screamer/feed backer combo here.
Would buy in a heartbeat.

Actually, most of the SMT layouts came before I did any of my 1/8W resistor layouts. I dig them all. :-)

It's always the little details that give things away. :-)

Now THAT is a solid point. It had never occurred to me to goop the outside of the pedal.

Yeah, it might have been worded a bit too obtusely. All in good fun, though.
