Got a kingslayer put together today and hells bells does it deserve an obnoxious thread title.
It absolutely kills. Seriously, Brian, this thing is a damn masterpiece. Easily, EASILY the best damn overdrive I've ever played.

Soft clippers are Bat46, then a pair of 1n50 germs and those expensive as hell LM313s I had left over from a Sunking build.
I also hit for the cycle, using every color cap I had.

I'll add some more pictures when I think of a cool box to put it in.

Very cool.  Dual-gang Gain pot or separate pots?  My boards arrived this morning!

Great! I can't believe you already put this together. I just shipped it like two days ago, ha ha.

I'm so happy that you are pleased with it :)

What do you think of the LM313s? I've never tried those myself in anything.

Audio demo if you get the chance sir! Looks great.

First feeling : "oh my god! I must build it!"
Second feeling : "oh my god! I've got soooo much PCBs to populate before jumping on this one"

It's a dual-gang with ribbon cable. I'm becoming a real convert to the ribbon.

The LM313s won the diode battle when I went into the 'lab' for hours with my Sunking - thanks to reports on the board here for suggesting them. The range on the 6 I got was between .58 and .6. I haven't tried it yet, but a pair of Bat41s in series would get you close and probably sound pretty badass.

I really like everything about it. To my ears, it bridges the divide with the tone and soul of a Fet drive with the crispness and presence of an opamp drive.

I hate to sound like I'm gushing, but I've built a buttload of dirt pedals and this is the first one where I knew without a doubt it passes the 'if I only had room for one dirt pedal on the board' test.

Lucky sod! Mine arrived in Baltimore this morning at 12:03AM but didn't get delivered. Got my box, though. :)

Those reference diodes look spicy in there. :)

It's an obnoxious question but do you like it even more than the sunking? I've built two of those...

Where did you get the ribbon style connector wire? I need some of that!
