Not my best build but sounds fantastic. I had some grounding issues it gets tight with the switches. Ribbon cable was too flimsy considering all the hookups so I ended up useing thicker wire for the jacks and DC which cluttered it up a bit. Sounds great and love the enclosure from PPP.
Didn't do the clipping option. I have a ton of diodes to test with but have some old germaniums in there for now.

Very nice, great job.
I was using the couple hours I had today to populate mine. Fun build for sure.

Looks good! Really need to start on mine. What do you think of the Fat and Thick mods?

Can't really hear a difference yet on thick. I think fat might have blown the dinky speaker on my Blackstar HT-1R practice sampe :o
What did you use for the 2- 1uf box caps? They look a little larger than your standard box cap.
Can you post a link to the ones you used please:). Pretty please:)!!

Nice build, Mate! My Sunking just arrived and I'm trying to decide which mods to do. I think I'll socket a couple of caps and keep it simple, though as this is my first Klon build. Can't wait!

They look like the ones from Tayda, they are always a bit random. I think they cut them up with a cheese slicer!

......or they could be from Smallbear :P
This build was bugging me mainly because the switches were too tight in the layout causing grounding issues with the input jack (you can see two-sided tape under it in the original gutshot). I decided the fat and thick mods were kind of fire-and-forget anyway so I got a new enclosure without the switches and used internal SPDTs for the mods. Glad I did. So much cleaner inside and the chrome enclosure is a nice touch.

I ended up re-housing my Kingslayer in the original enclosure so now I have two nice Klones. Time to A/B these guys.

Sorry to hear you had some trouble with the switches :( If you ever re-visit it, try it with these sub-miniature switches: http://www.smallbearelec.com/servlet/Detail?no=42
They go a long way toward opening up space. Plus, the are not as tall.
Builds look great!
No worries on the switches. The ones listed were sold out at Smallbear when I ordered parts but in the end I am happy having them as clipping switches on my Kingslayer.
Great design on the board BTW, sounds great! Worth the wait.
With the Internal SPDT's, I gather that it doesn't matter which way around you place them, yes no?
I might do the same thing for the one I'm building.
