Super Drive 70's, anyone build it?

I have had the PCB that I got from GPCB for months now and I am trying to decide what all builds I want to work on next.

Anyone build this yet? If so, thoughts?

I've got one built but not boxed.  No specific reason as to not boxing it, just not high on the priority list.

As far as the individual circuits

Hot Chilicon - my favourtie fuzz by far, build it to juansolo's specs for transistors, sounds killer

Stage 3 - Meh, rather have a SHO

Aeon Drive - stock, no, do your favourite TS layout, lifes all good.

Combined - not the ideal stacking arrangement IMHO.  I've built a couple of Sholicons (Chilicon + SHO) with an order switcher, like it better than the Stage 3 with the Chilicon as previously mentioned.

TLDR - it's probably a nice Swiss Army Knife pedal if you were only building one, but if you've built a bunch, it doesn't grab you so much.

Thanks Curtis, the info helps

I have a Hot Chilicon pcb and maybe I will build this first instead

Good call, you won't regret it.

Like I said, sounds really good (and I'm not a fuzz lover per se) with juan's transistor selection.

I've also built it with MPSA18s across the board, sounds good as well.

Socket and enjoy.

do you know what Juans transistor selections were? His site is down
