EDIT 9/21/11: SOLD!!
This is not my pedal, but is being sold by the same fellow I mentioned in THIS THREAD (http://www.thefret.net/showthread.php/19115-Bunch-of-pedals....). The guy (his name is Rob) is a fellow moderator at the BYOC forums and does stellar quality work. He has this pedal up for sale over there, but PM me here if you're interested and I'll put you in touch with him.
If you're into pedals, you've probably heard of the Klon Centaur, which enjoys a reputation as one of the premier boutique overdrives of recent years. A new PCB called the MKC1 Mini-Klon (http://www.guitarpcb.com/apps/webstore/products/show/2556712) has recently been introduced by GuitarPCB.com (http://www.guitarpcb.com/), and Rob worked closely with Barry, the site owner, to develop & debug the circuit. They made a couple of nice simplifications to the original circuit that reduce the build complexity and component cost while making no discernible tonal impact. I built one a couple of weeks ago, and it's a really nice sounding overdrive--very warm, smooth tone. The originals go for $350 and up (w-a-a-y-y up, mostly), but Rob is selling this pedal for $80. This is the very same pedal used for the demo clips posted on Barry's main webpage (near the bottom), linked above.
Here are photos, linked over from the BYOC F/S thread. Some beautiful workmanship here:

SPECIAL OFFER: As you can see, the pedal is not labeled in any way. Buy it and I will decal & clearcoat it for you at NO CHARGE. We can agree on a design together, but I can put together a variant of the design I used very easily. Here's what mine looks like (it has an extra gain control, which turned out to do not so much):
