First off, let me say this is a fantastic project. Kudos to Brian for a fantastic layout and build doc and Benny profane for his help in the calibration write up. Top notch all the way. This went together fast and without a hitch...well just one. I opted to use the optional speed pot instead of the switch. I had an LFO tick and it turns out the wires to the speed pot were too long and amplifying the signal elsewhere, I made them as short as possible and problem solved. Calibration was fast and pretty much down the middle  for each trimmer. The sound...classic DMM in a 125b. What's not to love here. For the enclosure I tried the new metallic silver that tayda is offering and I really like it, it's got a nice semi-gloss sheen that's not too reflective. Kang the conqueror is a man of space and time and perfect for this build. Obligatory glamour shots and video clip showing one of my favorite ways to use the memory man. I plan on doing the negative ground edition as well and running them side by side for a shorter and longer setting. Jump on this people, it's legit and it f*cks.

Looks fantastic. I think you have the first show of a build for this. I'm a little surprised by the ticking but at least it was easily solved.

Thanks Brian, I am in love with this pedal. Playing this with the new deluxe electric mistress is the deluxe edition of my playing experience. Now I wait patiently to do it again with the nge while I get lost playing this one lol

Thanks, I thought a lot about how to tastefully show under the top board. I wanted to get really nasty with it and for some reason Bender kept coming to mind.

Amazing build, Chris! Your last few are so next level. That silver is killer.

Thanks John, means a lot from someone who's been doing work that's been inspiring me for years now. It's a lot of fun when you are really into the project and it's a pedal you really love.

Very nicely done.  I'm right behind you on the build but CabinTech shorted me a 3005.  They're making good on it (and super cool to deal with) but will be a few days out.  I did get all my voltages in line, it took me a while to get my head wrapped around what should be any easy concept for the positive ground 18v.  It's much easier to follow the color diagram than try to out-think the process.

I gotta go with the silver enclosure, that looks really top notch especially with the usual crazy good artwork.

How loud is too loud?  What?

Not bad, I'm at the point of waiting for the board, I got the caps, op amps, and pots from Tayda so held off ordering from B until that box left CO. And yes, likely gonna make the NGE version(why some have 4 TS boxes, set and forget  ;D )
I might make the artwork resemble a school bus though.. got cad orange knobs and led's or was that for the dual box with boost and compressor( I won't spell the joke out...who knows who's 'sensitive' about it around here....)

I love the way this turned out,  I'm going to have to try and tackle this at some point.
