It doesn't appear to be based on anything I'm familiar with, that of course doesn't mean it's not.
It looks like a very simple circuit, I'm expecting something similar to the limiter circuit in the Fulltone 2B / FDIC.
What's on the workbench?

You mean the Ge diode circuit? I never thought of that as a "limiter" the effect is so subtle on the FDIC. Still it's a cool boost pedal.

Yep, Fulltone calls it the "2B Boost with Limiter" . I'm assuming the 10K resistor (R5) + Dynamics pot prevent any significant clipping and softly reduces gain with stronger signals.
There's not a heck of a lot going on in this one.

I'm going to have to dig out my FDIC and mess with it again.

nn simple comp?

Might be a FET based comp. Those two pads have something on the back I think.
Robert

Yep, there are two on the back.
Yep.

Oh, so it’s a Ross?

Nope, you had it right the first time, it's the NN Simple Comp.
