Most impressive! Great looking enclosure, and fantastic vero layout!

I went and build a baby version

That's rather large by your standards. 🤣

SWEET builds! Both of them 

What did you use to secure the posts/standoffs in the full-sized build? Epoxy??

nah they are just screwed through and bolted either side of the two veros - they are to hold the boards togeher, not hold anchor in any way to the enclosure - the board mounted pots and rotary secure the boards to the enclosure.

The baby is so cute!

Duuuuhhhhh!!! Now that you explained it, I realize how incredibly DUMB the question was.

Holy shit, that's awesome!! 

The LED indicator for the clipping modes is brilliant!

I can only speak for myself, but I'm honored that you would want to build something that I/we designed.

As for it being overly bright, I think that might be some kind of error. I believe the trace that was done is correct (I looked at it and it seemed right). The production circuit is, in my opinion, kind of honky with a bit too much high cut on the input (which was a compromise we made to eliminate oscillation if both Fuzz and Volume pots are maxed-out). My original "final" prototype did not have this filtering on the input, and I actually prefer it. Hell, my original version didn't have any clipping options nor the input filter switch. Just four knobs. I basically designed it for me, and then Dave and Brian added all the great features that make it far more useful for a wider  audience.

But damn, well done, sir.

Hey dude

Thanks for your comments and thoughts.
It's probably just my amp - black star artisan which is known for being bright.
I think it sounds great and the change to the treble cap suits my taste. It was actually fun to play around with. I'll probably see if I can get a chance to acquire a Real one once things like xmas, moving house and wedding are paid for 😐

I always thought imitation was sincere flattery so I'm glad you agree

Why do I get the feeling that "great features" wasn't how you originally drafted that sentence?   

[madbean]

Seconded on those LED indicators. That's pretty rad!

We f--k up all his designs. He's been good about reeling in feature creep (something I am way way guilty of).

Haha.  Nah, the additions were good ones. The pedal definitely wouldn't be as cool without them.

Brian and Dave come from a different philosophy of design than I do, and that's partly what works about our oddball setup. Those guys are usually looking to add tweakable parameters, and I'm usually trying to figure out  how to reduce complexity.

[EBK]

I was just having some playful fun.  I hope you don't think I was trying to stir something up.  I have a lot of respect for you guys and your work.

Not at all. I was actually more responding to Brian's comment than yours.
