Is that a thin line power jack?
What’s on *YOUR* workbench?

There is about 1 cm below the footswitch to push down, but I don't think I'd like that switch position topside.
Negative.

I thought that looked like a Lumberg. I love those, but they are big. I've started using thin line jacks for tight builds because I don't like bending those lugs (which I've had to do a few times like you did there).

Decided to build a TS9 today around 11am. As of 8pm-ish I have the board done, cuts and links made, and I installed the socket for the IC. I also picked out a color for the paint: neon lime green…
Now, I also have another board that has cuts and links, but the cuts go one way, and the links go the other. Stripboard is hard…but cheap.

Used my BMP board to build a V7 Green Civil War/Tall Font Green Russian. I have the toggle for the mid hump and hardwired it on. Sounds really good and sustain for days.
I designed mine for BC550s and used 2N5089s on this. They have opposite pinouts if anyone was wondering. Ask me how I know
A BMP is an underwhelming overdrive (under drive?) with backwards transistors.
Can’t wait to design the enclosure and box it up for a friend. Gotta use the army green from Tayda for this.

I had more GT402 transistors, and I recently accidentally ordered a bunch of 1/2W resistors instead of the 1/4W resistors I meant to buy, so I'm making a Fuzz Face.
This one biased really easily, which is nice. All tantalum caps except for the MLCC output cap, because I have them and wanted to see if it affected the sound. It definitely seems to compared to electrolytics, which might be placebo and might be due to the better tolerances and lower ESR. I noticed that changing the capcitors from electrolytic to tantalum also changed the bias significantly, I assume due to lower ESR.

Sloppy, melty, verification build warning:
Something is wrong here. Can you spot it? (It's not that exposed R19 footprint)
Don't assemble sleep deprived

Bingo
But also, I've discovered other …rather stupidly amateur errors and the board doesn't work at all and is not salvageable.

Not exactly pedal related. I planned to take this weekend to finish up a stack of PCB's sitting on my bench, but my release bearing gave up the ghost. Taking a long break before I drop the transmission.

Breadboard twice (thrice)
Fabricate once
In just about 15 minutes I was able to correct the schematic error, print it and rebuild it on the breadboard to verify. SMH
