Is this a boost/OD or a full blown preamp-in-a-box like the Particle Accelerator?

Either/or/both. It can be effectively run before an amp as an overdrive, or it can run directly into a power amp as a preamp.

Almost done with the build doc on this one, just need to update the build instruction pictures and the drill template. I have 8 PCBs on hand and a lot more on order, I'm planning to make the 8 available as soon as the build doc is ready, then add a lot more when the new batch comes in. No changes were made to the PCB at all, the new boards will be identical to the ones I have on hand already.

Standard cathode bypass capacitor mods apply for bass here as well?
Limited Edition Transparent Gold
If you want to go down this Rabbit Hole, it gets expensive!!!
Around $85.00 US, you can't purchase the Enclosure without the Klon Drill pattern!
You have to Weld or JB Weld up the holes & Paint it
There are some internal lugs that may have tbe removed:
Then there's the Vent slots.
You can get away with the Power, Input & Output jacks!
This is just a Mockup, I wish the Real Deal was so simple but it aint! :
UPDATE:
It has been bought to my attention that there are enclosures that look similar in the overall look but are smaller & are available with no holes.
I knew about the smallest one which is very similar in size to a 1590BB but there is one that is between that & the full size Klon replica!
They both have no holes or internal ribs??? to worry about either.
Stay tuned!!!

Yeah unfortunately Ambassador isn't the best candidate for a Klon enclosure. Black Eye, on the other hand, works well.

Yup. Swap C11 (220n), C12 (1u), and C13 (100n) for bigger (22u+) caps to make it more bass-friendly.

Looks like all 8 of the boards on hand have sold, I'll get shipping notices out tonight and get them out tomorrow. The first few boxes are on the CNC now.
For the sake of DIY Pedal Builders:
Thanks Bricksnbeatles for the link
. There is a Medium size Klone look available that has no internal ribbing & is not drilled:
It may be an issue with the Rounded corners, I have one on the way so I will find out when it arrives!
How Much!, $60.00 AU shipped!!!

Finally got my Ambassador enclosure finished up. My UV printer had been out of commission for a couple months while I waited on parts, and this seemed as good a test print as any.
is the drive channel's eq a Bax or shelving?

EQ is a Fender-ish stack with fixed mids. Schematic is in the build doc.

I don’t think the one coming for me will look like that!

Unfortunately no, I'm not in a position to offer full custom enclosures. One of these days I may get around to putting together Tayda drill templates for all my stuff so people can have more options than just bare enclosures from me, but it hasn't happened yet.
He could have done a Test on yours before he sent it Hey!
If you didn't like it, you can always sand it of!
