Got it. Looking forward to it, but it's behind a few other projects I have to wrap up first.

Just checking in here to make sure firstly that by now everyone that ordered one received their PCBs?

Also, how are people getting on with populating / building this one?

I noticed that you changed Q2 from Ge to Si, did you try both?

I didn't test a Germanium transistor; I generally avoid them as they are both more expensive and less reliable than silicon. The mosfet boost at the front softens things in a similar fashion anyway.

One of these days I'm gonna put a moseft boost in a 1590XX just to spite you!

Superb!  I love the Velcro fuzz stuff but your lower gain stuff, like what you did with the Peacock, is killer too.

Stellar as always! Even if the box is too capacious
