Just finished this beast and it freaking works. I just knew it wasn't going to, you have to build it completely without rocking it before boxing it. Peter's video was super helpful, now I just gotta figure out how the damn thing works. I bought the "Kit" which is basically just the hardware.

Nice one! Welcome to the club. Check out this post for a consolidated list of the features and look into Peter's suggested modifications.

Really impressive, bud.
Looks like you might have some solder bridges on the SMD ICs, though.  Hitting those spots with solder wick ought to fix it up.

Intentional.  Don't worry.  I worried about my own build when I saw the same bridges.

Curious,

Why the use of the SMD parts? There is clearly enough room for through hole. Was it because those parts are only available in SMD?

Excellent build Jimi. I also stopped on the SMD solder bridges however, I then supposed they were needed.

I don't even know, but I wondered myself. A lot of the parts are bunched up though, so I don't mind. I wondered about the solder bridges also.

Yep, it's a lot to take in. The send to 1 or send to 2 is still a little complicated to take in. A video is most helpful.

Thought the same about the bridges but I figured you couldn't have bridged 1&2 on 3 chips so it must be intentional.  That's some work my man.  Looks like it'll be as hard to play as it was to build!!

I played in bands for a goos portion of my 39 years. I have patch cables,
maybe too many.

^Nice!  Judging from the demo I watched, it takes around 45-50lbs to get started with the Klein Bottle.

Have any of your bands past/present got any tunes I can check out?

... :o  That's insane. Great job on all that work. This has the most anything I've seen in a single pedal.
