There's no single sided layout for the Low Rider, but you can get one from gaussmarkov.net.. It uses some smd parts, though.

Nice site!  The article on input and output impedance just blew my mind . . . : : :
think I'll stick with your layout though...

Say, would it be possible to tune one of the octaves in this pedal to a different interval?

The short answer should be no.

If i read you right, you want to add a - say - lower fifth or third. The lowrider devides the fundamental by 2 which gives one octave down, then divide that low octave fundamental by 2 again. To get other intervals you need a different circuit design. I'm not sure its doable in the universe of "fairly" (well...) simple DIY designs.

Interesting idea though:)
