About a month or so back I saw a couple of photos of a dual stage pedal. The first stage was the AMZ Mini-Booster by Jack Orman and the 2nd stage was a clone of the Red Llama by Way Huge. I want to build this pedal, but for the life of me I can't find where I saw it.
Can anybody help?
If it helps one of the photos was a gut shot.

Go to somewhere like DIY stompboxes or freestompboxes.org and get the schematics/layouts for the two effects, then use standard 2 in 1 box wiring for them.
You dont need to copy one particular persons project to do this yourself.

If you feel adventurous, MadBean is selling PCBs for both of these pedals (Thunderpuss and Snarkdoodle). You can build you own! They're pretty-basic builds.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. After trawling the 'net most of yesterday, I've now come to the conclusion that I've seen the description and the photos for this on two separate sites.
I've built pedals before - Orange Squeezer, Crunchy Box, Improved EA Tremolo, Rebote 2.5 etc to name a few - but I've never done a 2 in 1 before.
I already have the PCB for the Red Llama 95% finished (just need a couple of more parts) and I've got an old AMZ on perf board I could use, or I may get another PCB from Jack Orman.
FWIW I think the Madbean boards are too small. I remember the Crunchy Box was not a fun build for me. I prefer GGG, or Tonepad.
