The classic Dan Armstrong octave effect - The Green Ringer.
Great to put in front of a fuzz or distortion pedal. The Earthquaker Devices Sunn Life pedal is basically a Green Ringer in front of a Proco Rat, with a booster.
DAN ARMSTRONG GREEN RINGER - POINT TO POINT LAYOUT
Earthquaker Devices have a version called the Tentacle, which is almost identical. For the Tentacle, just do the following:
Change Q1 and Q3 to a 2N5089
Change 1.5M resistor to 2.2M
Add 100pf capacitor from input to ground
1N4148 Diodes used
I've left some room on the board for power filtering if needed.

Thank you for the layout, Andy!
Works well (especially in front of fuzz), only Q2 should be reversed.
Cheers.
Thanks - Q2 is a phase splitter, so it shouldn’t matter which way it goes.
