I did the same thing a few months ago. I didn’t realize that 1/4 W resistors came in that smaller size. I don’t recall which brand they were, but I will be checking the size for sure going forward.

Thread lock seems like not a bad idea. I built a few pedals for a working guitarist who is really rough on his gear. I think two of the four I gave him had issues. He somehow damaged the power jack on one and fried something on the board. So add the power jack to your list of things to be sure...

I’ve got a Pork Barrel PCB that I can give you. I’ll PM you.

Nice! I like how you used terminal blocks for connecting the I/O and power wires. I don’t recall seeing that before.

While I can’t answer your questions, I figured I’d share a link to a YouTube tutorial on Affinity Designer I found really helpful, FWIW…

This looks so great I want to build it even though I have absolutely no need for it.

That’s @MichaelW I also built the Corona using 1S1588s. I like to understand how DIY PCBs compare to the ‘source’ pedal.

Great build as always. Love all of your Boss builds in particular. Just curious if you happen to know how it differs from the Aion Corona, which I think is based on the quad op amp version of the OD-1? I know Aion added some extra bits to the project. https://aionfx.com/project/

Great looking build, as always.

Good review, thanks. Love your Aion I/O board.

Looks and sounds great!

Credit where it’s due: I ordered the 8 ball (JCM800) yesterday and there was the build doc, ready to download!

Fantastic build, as always. I love white Boss knobs in general, but maybe white MXR style might fit this better?

Yes, for resistors I filter by the product Series, power, and tolerance. It didn't occur to me to filter by size.

...or at least the same size. I just received some Yageo resistors from Mouser. Two of the values I ordered are much smaller than any other 1/4W resistor I've every purchased. They look like 1/8W resistors. But the Mouser specs say they're 1/4 W. I'm wondering if there are any possible...
