@MichaelW gave this a “must build” rating in his build report, and it went straight into my wishlist.
I subbed in a BC556B because I couldn’t find the one BC307B that was called for. Other than that it was nice and simple.
Someone else called it a medium gain overdrive. That seems right. Pretty wide gain range though and I like most of it. It never felt like I was hunting for the sweet spot. I’ve built a lot more stuff on the distortion/ fuzz end of the dirt spectrum, and I’m always surprised how much I enjoy a mellow smooth overdrive sound. In particular this one does a nice edge of breakup thing that there isn’t a lot of in my pedal drawer.
