Friedman BE-OD

Designed by tone-guru-to-the-stars David Friedman, the BE-OD
overdrive pedal faithfully captures the sonic impact of Friedman’s
legendary BE-100 amplifier–known in some circles as the Brown Eye, and
favored by serious musicians the world over.

The BE-OD overdrive delivers authentic tube amplifier sound from a
compact pedal with the controls needed to shape your tone, including
volume, gain, tight, bass, treble and presence. These responsive knobs
will take you from light, slightly broken-up overdrives to straight-up
gain nirvana“
Original FSB thread and schematic available here.

If you want to use transistors instead of 1n4148s you can use this layout.
It is the same with an added cut.
You can follow the FSB original thread for more details.
(Transistors’ sockets positions in the layout would remain the same no matter the combination you use)
