If your talking about the vintage Deluxe Big Muff, its just a IC based BMP and a soul preacher compressor. You might be able to make a 2 in one that would come close to it. I have yet to see a PCB for the "Deluxe" in full.

I've searched for a BMP Deluxe project for a while now, and I've not found one.
There are several places that make an op-amp BMP PCB ( see Pig Butt right here from madbean ),
but the soul preacher is harder to find. There is an etchable board over on diysb.

I had an original BMP Deluxe back in the day. Really loved it as it was the first pedal of any kind that I owned.
The compressor had an over-the-top squish which I did like, even though it was super noisy.
I haven't found a compressor since that mimics that sound. One of these days, I'll get around to etching a board
and trying that out. I have built several op amp BMP's and liked them all.

I could have sworn I read someone was going to release a project for it a while back... maybe they'll chime in.

Off topic but... the soul preacher is an interesting looking circuit isnt it. Lacks the hallmarks of the standard battery of compressors that get cloned all the time (no discrete OTA, no optics, etc). Nifty.

If you want to homebrew one there are Vero layouts of the Soul Preacher floating around that you could cobble to an ICBM. Wiring would be a bit of a chore, but I can't imagine it would be impossible.

I've got a project in the works for the EH-3053 version (the better of the two revisions). It likely won't be until later this year that it's ready, but it's on my shortlist.

I'd love to build a soul preacher. It's the only pedal on my board I didn't build.
