just finished building my slambox over the weekend and well pleased by the sound of it. i ve called it the super boner! got the layout from the projects page and ecthed the pcb myself using photo paper in a laser printer and FeCl.
had problems with it when i plugged it in , hardly any sound was coming out when switched on though i was pretty darn sure my pcb was fine  and my soldering alright. took me a while to figure out zetex transistors are fitted the wrong way round (pinouts are reversed) . so it works fine now though when i turn the crackle knob past halfway my distortion pedal (just after the boner in my pedal chain) just cant handle that much signal and it cuts my sound down... has anyone had the same kind of problem??
haven't figured out how to post pictures on this forum as of yet.
anyway thanx to the madbeans crew for schematics and layout!

Hey man... get some pix up! Yeah I've found a weird compression type 'quietening' effect when running a super hot level out of a pedal into another one myself
