I love how much Peter can fit on a PCB, it does make soldering the pots a little tricky sometimes.Im working on a Choral Reef and Fiery Red Horse now too.
Vfe Pinball and Standout.

I’ve had all the parts for both of those pedals for some time now. Salmon season came along and put everything on hold. About t get back at it. I completed the choral reef a few months ago. Great chorus. Let me know how those 2 pedals sound. I’m anxious to get started.

I'm still playing around with the order put I put the standout first and then the pinball. The level on both can create a fair amount of distortion if turned up, I have found that about 15-20% is about the max if you want to retain a clean sound. The HPF and LPF are very touchy.

Yeah I used a desoldering pump with an iron built in and it removed it for me. I imagine the relay is toast now but it works as it should.

Were you able to get the custom pots when you built yours? I also have a dragon, well two, one I built and the other I bought.

Your builds look great, you have been crushing it!!!!
The standout is such a great pedal, i havent used the pinball as much because i built the rocket eq and really like what it does. I agree that they both are crazy loud, but i think that is what I like about them most.
I feel like the pinball and standout both pale in comparison to the dragon. The dragon is my favorite overdrive of all time, I have built 6 of them and bought a blue one. Currently eyeing a green one in case something goes horribly wrong.
i wish i would have gotten more of his live boards, I really enjoy his work.

Thank you I appreciate it!
I backed Peter's SPS board on Indiegogo and ordered one with a Tractor Beam. I also built the Klein Bottle. I love the Dragon as well, looking forward to the Fiery Red Horse too!

I did too, i went with the white horse compressor and am excited to hear who will be releasing his pedals in 2021. I have built damn near everything from his files, I have a whole shelfof just vfe. Just need to paint them, which is where my bottle neck arises.

I never built that one, I did build the Triplet and wasn't a huge fan but need to come back to it.

Peter's designs are inspired and inspiring. I've got three of his in the queue: Merman, Mobius & Blues King. Chong, can we see the front please?

Sure, I don't usually use an OEM style graphic but since these are VFE PCBs and pots I figured what the heck. Plus I was too lazy to think of anything original.
I haven't even put knobs on the Standout yet.
Also just for the sake of it here is a pic of the Dragon and Triplet I built as well.
