Not a PedalPCB build, but I figured I should post it anyway.
I've been obsessed with treble boosters for the past few months. After some searching, I found this Mullard OC44 transistor that tested somewhat low for the recommended hFE levels for a treble booster, but I tested it anyway and LOVED how it sounded. So then I thought the OC44 alone wasn't enough mojo, and ended up finding some 1W Allen-Bradley carbon comp resistors, and a 5n6 Mullard mustard input cap. And once I found all that, I decided I should probably build it on a terminal strip, old school style. And to contrast all of that, I put it in a Gorva enclosure, and used a Gorva 3PDT footswitch.
I don't think it's the carbon comp, nor the mustard cap. I think it's the OC44. And it really doesn't matter, but this thing sounds killer! It instantly became my favorite treble booster so far!

And a quick demo video:
