This was my response on FB to Jason who designed this. He's been on with this for probably about 6 months and it is a totally original effect. Unusual I know! We've had protos and been following the design and build of this for ages (Jason is the guy who does our PCB layouts).
Holy shit! This thing is perfect now. Jason don't touch it. To put it simply, this thing makes most other overdrive/distortions redundant.
It's eerily quiet even at max gain, it responds to the vol control of the guitar. It adds to an amp making it sound more without taking away the underlying tone, though you can tweak that tone quite heavily if you want to. But you *can* use it as a 'more' pedal if you want.
The controls all do what you want them to do. The two switches I seem to use more for amp matching. They sound spot on one way in a Marshall 18w-a-like and in a different setting in a Fender Brown-face a-like. The altitude stomp adds body/size to the sound on demand. The TMB controls work really well to shape the tone how you want.
It's been a long, long time since I've been genuinely surprised and excited about a distortion pedal. You've created a masterpiece dude.
There is a build doc for it with schematic. But I'm not sure it's for public consumption yet. It's probably going to become a DIY effect, but in the interests of options it might be a very limited thing and he might want to keep it's design under wraps.
Here's a gutshot. It's not a Tube Screamer!

When I have an opportunity I also really love my Audio Kitchen The Big Trees cranked in amp mode. Just about perfect empty-house volume into a single blue, a tad too loud for kids-in-the-house crankage.

Madbean thread on the design of the circuit: http://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=25181.0
However, looks like it's DIY only at the moment. The fully built ones he's made (like mine) are all all laser etched and lovely things so it looks like he's gone that extra mile if he decides to sell built ones.
Also, what does attitude do, is it a boost?
Originally bought the tumnus as an 'always on' pedal after hearing how nice klon's make a clean tone sound when they have their gain rolled all the way off. However I just prefer the clean tone of my Princeton reverb on its own and can't get enough of the tumnus boosting the plimsoul, always used to play clean only but now I've been converted as the tumnus just takes my lead tone to the next level, great pedal.
Clips, I'm pretty sure that's the bit that you do It's over at Cleggy's if you're in the area, otherwise you could borrow it if you want a play.
