 I built one a few months ago when he came out with the new fabricated boards.  I did a few mods after reading the forums there.  The pedal sounds great, I can't compare it to a Klon though.   I have a Kingslayer board sitting here I'm going to build next.. at first glance at the schematic- with the buffer and charge pump it appears it's a more similar signal path to the original than the MKC1.  Here are some shots of mine:

 I did the Ultra-gain mod, and a boost switch to activate it.  Also moved the gain trimmer to an external pot.

Nice!

What mods did you do?

Cool - does the gain mod just swap the pot for a larger value like the DeadRinger's boost?

You've also got an extra pot on there - have you swapped the dual gang for 2x individual pots?

  The gain mod switches between a fixed resistor and a pot via the footswitch.

Yes.. the board has a trimmer pad so you have some options.. keep it inside, dual-gang, or I chose to break it out since I had some real estate to play with.
