I did a layout for the Hudson Sidecar a couple of years ago, and I retraced my steps recently and found a few things that needed to be updated. The Sidecar is a progression of the 999 Overdrive, which is Hudson's version of a 'green box' overdrive, made for people like me that don't like the green box.
There's also another variation out there called the Motorcycle, which sounds like the same circuit that's been retuned for a bit more low drive, with the addition of an output transformer, not unlike the Broadcast. My guess is the 470n / 1k off the inverted input stage has been adjusted, maybe a tweak to the bass side of the active eq???.
Plenty of great pics on FSB Schematic on PedalPCB
So like a lot of guitar FX pedals, it looks like there were some minor changes and tweaks over time. There's enough room on this board to accommodate other versions.
The layout below should be pretty close to a version of the original from 2017. 0.15" vero, so tin can IC is a must.
