alright. i've traced it, made a schematic, and a layout. i need some more info though before i post the layout. here's what i need to know:

1 - what's the taper of the pots
2 - what's the cap in series with the diodes
3 - what's the diodes, i'm assuming they're 1N914, but if you can see the number on them that would be awesome
4 - it's hard to make out the resistors 100%, so if you could list the values i can make any changes needed. otherwise it's kind of a crap shoot if they're right.

btw, it's definitely not based on the dist+. the clipping arrangement is similar to a ts, but predates it, which is pretty interesting, and it's really an odd circuit. it seems rare that we come across something unique these days, so i can't wait to build this. so thanks for bring it up and providing the gut shots needed to trace it.
