Thanks for the kind words friends! It was downright therapeutic to find a little time to build after a rather stressful month...

That is absolutely perfect, well almost... you should have used PIO caps or at least tropical fish ones, oh yeah and carbon comp resistors, and...  ;)

Those aren't normal 1N5158s. They're special diodes made from silicon mined from the asthenosphere layer of the earth's crust, which has a mineral density that is the best for guitar tone. The leads on the diodes are actually titanium, which conducts .00002% better than copper, but requires a very expensive pair of snips to cut. Only I can get these diodes, by the way.  ;)

I hear those fairy dust diodes are expensive :)

That's where the mojo is Jimi, in the unicorn tear diodes.

Where can i get one of those board? Layout is nice.

Give Chi_Boy a shout and see if he has any spares. He posted on this thread a little while ago.

Didn't even think about that. If I have time to bang out a video today I will. Easter weekend is a tad hectic for us church players...  :P
