I couldn't think of anything witty to say. This is a straight forward sharkfin, I made a ton of bonehead mistakes on this one all the way done to not soldering a wire on the stomp which caused another hour of frustration and debugging.
Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

Coolio!  8)
And you came out on top again, after all the debugging, that's the story!
I still gotta box mine up...

I took this thing apart more than my first build, fortunately it was just dumb mistakes I made.

Awesome pedal Jimi. Love the art work of the ship.

When your not using the pedal you can lease it out to the city to store power in those 35V caps for emergency power. :0

All kidding aside, great build.

Your earlier 'dumb mistakes' post inspired me to reflow one of my non-working builds sitting in my 'later' pile.  It didn't get fixed when I swapped out the chips and a few other things.  Of course reflowing did the trick.

Nice recovery, it came out great.

You should, I'm not sure what you would use one for, but it makes cool noises.

There's not nearly enough ships on pedals, I think.

Looks great!

I'll agree. I've been looking for a pedal to use this on for a while now.
