Finally i got this made :)
very delicious sounding pedal.
love the clipping options





Some things i noticed during building:
-) the pcb fits exactly in a 1590b. horizontally theres no space left. maybe the pcb could be a little bit smaller
-) the pots are placed very tight vertically. that can cause a short circuit when mounting to the enclosure. ive used tape to fix this.

overall, very great sounding pedal and a lot of fun to build!

Very nice build you have there. I too love the Catch 22.

I am a fan of PCBs that just fit in the enclosures so you can hid as much as possible under it to keep everything clean. But it does make drill templates a little more difficult.

As for the pots I always buy these from Smallbear:

That looks great.  I plan to pick up this PCB in short order.  I have a few other builds to put together first though.  Awesome job!

If I would be on facebook, I'd definitely hit the like button for this one.
Great job also on the decal, you improved a lot from the last build.

Thanks everyone :)
i can strongly recommend it. sounds very very great, and i love that it has so much headroom

@cody: good idea, thought exactly on it when i got this issue. next time i try these pots.
in the end im very glad the pcb fits :) but i would be frustrated if it would not.

@felix: thanks :) its actually the same decal, but this enclosures powdercoating was more even, so the decal looked better.
and i used a different finish.
