My take on the K.L.O.N.E.

[sturgeo]

My first ever build report!

A K.L.O.N.E. with buffered bypass.
My first PCB with board mounted pots, sooo much easier, i hate offboard wiring!
Issue is in the UK i can only find the dual gang 100k linear pots on Banzai and there service isn't great.

This is one of the first batch of PCBs, next ones will have a few tweaks and will be black.
The main PCB is from iTead and the smaller DPDT board is from OSH Park.
Slowly moving over to Panasonic ECQ-V caps, keep popping them on mouser orders until i qualify for free shipping.
This one has 1n34a diodes, got some D9E's waiting to go in another, I'll measure the FV and A/B between two pedals, not sure if they'll be a massive difference but we'll see.

After trying many different methods applying the artwork, I've gone for the reverse etched acrylic. Really pleased with the look.

That looks really good. Like the simplicity of the box finish and the guts are very clean!

Great build. Neat and classy.

Uh, if you're going to sell these, you can't put "Centaur" on them. The "Centaur" is the trademarked name of the pedal. The company name is Klon. They're both protected IP.

Nice looking build, but ... don't get sued.

We get them from Tayda, I think Dr Tweek might stock them also (but it'll cost more).

Classy layout inside and out BTW.

This is just drop-dead gorgeous, sturgeo. I really, really like the aesthetic here. Just beautiful in every way.

Your board layout looks really nice too. Is that a 3mm fresnel?

Yeah, I'm with Jon on this one.  It's a great looking build.  You can drop the Centaur and it'll still look great and potentially save you a lot of hassle.

Great looking build.  I really dig the board layout, too.  Well done.

[wgc]

Sweet!  Dig the acrylic and graphics

[alanp]

That layout is really slick.

[lincolnic]

Really slick build...you can tell how much thought went into that layout, too.

Don't sue me bro! 

Love the looks and cleanliness! 

[sturgeo]

Thanks for the comments and the heads up about using the "Centaur" name, i assumed (wrongly!) as you can't buy one of the originals anymore (now KTR) it wouldn't be an issue. I'll get that sorted asap!

[Droogie]

That's a sweet layout and build. Super clean and pro!

[Guybrush]

Wow, I love this.

Please could you decribe how you did the face plate? Really dig it!

Cheers
