Thanks Haberdasher! Makes sense.  I think I'll give that a shot!

Thanks guys, any other experiences?  Part of me is concerned about damaging traces when cutting.  Is this unfounded?

I'm printing off images to transfer to copper clad tomorrow.  Do you transfer multiple images to one large piece of clad and then etch leaving the cutting of the board to last?
Or, do you cut the board and transfer individually and then etch multiple pieces.
Are their other options?  I've always cut the clad first.  But given the number of boards, I thought it might save time to transfer all at once. 

Thanks Brian.  Was thinking about building the GGG 4 isolated output power supply and including  a 12v output transformer but didn't want (2) 12v outs.  Also don't need a 23v output either.
Thanks again for quick response.

Can I feed the Road Rage 12V and use the 18v out?
Or does it just accept 9v?

Looks great.  Love the minimal graphics.  Beautiful photography/lighting.  I've got to build mine up soon.

Thanks Jon, very helpful.  Think I'm going to keep it simple for now.  May revisit this at a future date if I'm not satisfied;)

Can the egghead be run at 18v?

Thanks Vallhagen.  I may PM you.

I built an egghead recently and I'll let him play it and see what he thinks Jon.  But it's got no tone knobs;)

Matt, I have an Eternity clone and would have never compared it to a TS sonically speaking. 

Jon, that's funny.  He said he wants transparent but then asked about having an EQ section:) I talked him out of that.
Anybody around here do a Timmy-like pcb? 
My first thought when he approached me was the EM drive.  Mike H from Prymaxe Vintage makes that thing sound great!

Thanks for the feedback!  I really want to put a Fatpants boost in there but he seems adamant about transparency.

I have a friend who's asked me to build him an OD/Boost combo pedal.  He's expressed interest in order switching via toggle or footswitch.  All he can tell me is that he wants a low-med gain transparent overdrive and boost. 
I'm thinking maybe a SHO type boost and an Eternity OD.  He mentioned a Timmy OD.  I know this is pretty subjective stuff but I'm looking for personal experiences and preferences here. Thanks:)

Recorded a demo with my phone.  Not the best recording method but all I have currently.  Playing a Squier '51 with the bridge pickup (Duncan Buckshot Humbucker) through an Ampeg Gvt-52.
Clean>Ross Distortion Ge>Ross Distortion Si> and then giggles Turbo Rat clone.
All have gain maxed which probably was a mistake.  May have been able to hear more subtle differences as lower gains.  Also, the Rat sounds like it has had a blanket thrown over it IMHO.
