Awesome work!

Was there a missed trace in the layout between Mid Pot Lug 2 and C17? Looks like a tiny jumper fix there.. 

Ever tried to populate SMD with paste and a heat gun?

Thanks, man.  After I finished this build I decided to give it a try with the original tone set-up and instead of pulling C17 I cut the trace.  Then when I went back to the Mid pot set-up (which makes it much more versatile) I had to jumper that cut.  Total lapse of common sense cutting that trace.

I have done one board with paste.  I liked it and it sped things up.  I need to get a finer tip for my paste syringe and I think it will come out better.  I was basically winging it based off a youtube vid I had watched about 6 months earlier but it worked out OK.  I have the Eagle monkey on my back so I have quite a few opportunities to refine the process in the near future.

Is the jumper on C17 something in the range of 48 gauge wire? 

That is sick, makes my eyes hurt (in a good way) just looking at it

The label on the spool is old and hard to read but it looks to be 28 gauge.

BTW, I have one more board if anyone is interested.  The price is right.  Free!

Yep, destined to cause herring damage.  ;-P
