Colorsound Octivider

3/27/2014

I was looking for a nice octave down and I found the schematic for the Colorsound Octivider.
At first I made a vero layout 1:1 with the original schematic but I found that the buffered bypass sounded bad, so I modified the layout for true bypass. Here's the finished pedal.

EDIT: Here is the original Octivider schematic

Thank you so much for the layout. I ended up using John's by default but the result is awesome!
Here are my build photos and demo:

Is it supposed to fuzz or it's clean tone?
