This is a really simple circuit looking at the board, but we didn't have a pic of the back and on the breadboard my suggestions didn't sound right, so I shelved it for a while until I could get a look at the unit myself or at least a decent pic of the rear of the board.
peavey_xxl on the forum posted a link to a schematic that he said someone who built a clone referred him to and so here's the layout based on that scheme. I have done the layout with the same mojo paper in oil caps in mind that were used in the original.
Updates 30th Jan 2013 - Pot value established and corrected, thanks peavey_xxl
