Ziet er goed uit Paul! That looks great. Good to see another Dutchman :-)

I'm really tempted to answer in dutch, but for the sake of our international pedal-building brothers I'll stick to english... Indeed good to see another Dutchie, do you know any good dutch forums/sites/parts stores? (except the usual suspects like Conrad or Display)

I really like the look of this! Are those the "small Boss" knobs or the large? I have trouble visualizing these things...

A complete build that works the first time is a sure path into this addiction!

To anybody who's been reading this:

I posted earlier that I was quite disappointed about the finish quality of the enclosure I used, but it must have been a dud. In the same order from Mouser I had a green 1590BB, a red 1590BB, a purple 1590TRPB, a blue 1590TRPB and a black 1590A and all of them are flawless. Just didn't take the time to take them out of their wrappers..........

Hey Paul,

Did you order through the 'dutch' version of mouser?

Wow! Sick job! I used to love my ts808 into my OCD. Back when I had OD pedals built by someone else. Haha. I have been toying with this same idea! I've got both circuits lying around without a home.

Keep up the good work!

I just went to mouser.com and ordered from there, but i was in dutch, and the prices in euro's. Free shipping with orders over 75 euro's, but keep in mind that you have to ad the BTW (dutch form of tax), so at checkout it;s a bit more expensive than you thought...... :(

Last weeks rehearsal was cancelled (drummer at the ER, but he's ok now) so I got to use it with my marshall and some volume for the first time last night....... Overdrive heaven! The EgoDriver works great with the clean and crunch channels, and the Green Bean kicks ass through the lead channel, or combined with wah. Very satisfying!!!!  ;D
