Here's my build of the Lawn Darts:
Effects Layouts version of Earthquaker Devices Arrows boost.
It's just a little boost, but it does its' job really well.
I've been using it near the end of my chain- after all other gain and modulation but before a reverb and delay. I turn it on when I need to be loud for lead bits and it retains more character of the effects before it than I'm used to. The other boosts and low gain overdrives I've auditioned in this position tend to flub-out or feed-back while this one tends to effortlessly whoop ass so far.
I didn't have any 2N5089's around so I tried a couple alternatives and landed with a BC109C. The faceplate is a bit of 1/8" flat aluminum that I hacked up with my scroll-saw and drill-press.
The faceplate can mount into my SCHMORG pedalboard/rack build,or all alone in a 'dummy' 125B:
