And as usual the boards are excellent. Piece of cake to put together and make a beautifully neat pedal - and I managed to fit each neatly into a black Hammond 1590B box. I built both today after lunch and finished before my wife came home for dinner so PedalPCB is doing something right!
Not super impressed with the Repro Fuzz though. So I went onto google and Youtube and yes, my version sounds pretty much as it's supposed to. Very scooped sounding with harsh highs. And even though it does have highs it still has that weird thing where it sounds muffled even though the is enough high end. Weird. I should have listened to youtube more carefully before building it! Oh well, I can always use the box for another pedal... I'm sure I'll be able to find a 4-knob pedal to built.
Much happier with the Contact, even though it is really JATS. It's a good TS style pedal and acts nicely as a Strat boost before an open-sounding OD like the Rocket 45 Caliber. Very pronounced mid-hump but I like that it's not as compressed as a normal TS. A little more of a low-mid thump might be nice but overall a very usable pedal.
