Sunking (AKA The Dudetaur) with True Bypass toggle

[Jamiroking]

This one is dedicated to our famous Haberdasher who has helped me out more than a few times since I started building. More specifically, when I missed the final sale of sunkings because I was traveling, He hooked me up with an extra board he had etched for himself. In honor of him and his avatar, I dub this, the first pedal I actually finished with decals and a proper finish, "The Dudetaur"





EDIT:
Forgot to put up the gut shot



For those interested in the True bypass wiring set-up I used, here's the wiring diagram. With the addition of a dpdt toggle, I'm able to switch between the stock pedal to a true bypass bypass pedal in bypass mode. Now I think it might be possible that the engaged circuit might actually be changed when in true bypass mode but I can't  hear any audible difference so it's great for me. The buffer does sound so great with my dark Les Paul that the only time I switch it to TB is when I want to use a fuzz pedal further down the chain.

Ha! This is one of the coolest ideas ever. Very nicely done.

haha, man that graphic is killing me.  

For anyone wondering, I had bought 3 in the final sale so I figured I wouldn't need the etched one anymore.  Anyway, I'm glad you could make use of the PIF!

Do you like the buffer or the TB better?

Dude! That is hilarious...I love it!

  Haha!  AWESOME!

hahaha I love it too. The dudetaur!

Great job on the switch. I would love to incorporate this into a build. Hopefully someone else will chime in if their are any issues with it before I build mine.

Great work. Love the image!

Absolutely brilliant!

DUDE! plagiarism is the sincerest form of flattery. But I will refrain. That's a cool/different layout for the controls! Classy!

Thanks a lot everyone! The photoshopping job was tougher than I expected since there's not really a full length shot of the Dude in that pose. I had to actually compile it from 3 different stills BEFORE adding in the horse

Thanks again Keefe. Yeah I forgot to specify that you just sent me your extra before you started etching expired projects. Sorry if this caused a bumrush of requests for you to make them for people.

As for the buffer/TB, I default to the buffer now. It really clears up my Les Paul beautifully which has a tendency to sound a little dark and muddy at times. The real only reason I use the TB is if I want the fuzz pedal that follows it to retain its responsiveness which is lost when preceded by the buffer. If I were to make another, I'm not sure I would bother with the toggle switch but its a pretty minimal modification and I'm a sucker for options.

Thanks a lot. I tried to go for the same feel of the original Klon but refuse to make anything bigger than a 125B so I thought this would work out. I got a little careless when drilling the holes though and the top left and middle knobs' pointers would catch each other at first. I had to widen the holes until they would finally clear and even now the pointers only clear each other by about a 1-2 mm. I really enjoy making my life difficult....
