I bet that was a slow process. Looks like it came out pretty perfect though!

I thought the guy in the front was Dave Mustaine.

Still a lot cheaper than a noble! According to my spreadsheet, I spent 205 on parts for mine, but that was before tariffs, doesn’t include shipping, and I didn’t pay to get it drilled. Have fun building it!

Nice. I like the simple look.

Sounds great! How are you doing your control labeling?

The paper template in the build doc is definitely off. I was annoyed at Kurt when I built my first one and the toggle location was wrong. Drilling my second one wrong is kinda on me though. 🤦‍♂️

Great enclosure! The shading extended to the knobs is a really nice touch.

I think I’d call those auto wire strippers I like auto strippers for automotive work or other applications where the wire lengths are long, but for pedals where I’m always trying to keep my wires as short as possible, they haven’t worked out for me. Because the auto strippers need a section of...

He makes a bunch of wild stuff! Not what I would have guessed.

That sounds great. I’d build one of those.

They’re excellent

Smallbear is cool and somewhat local to me, so I like to support them, but my assumption is that Tayda probably has a more tightly controlled supply chain than small bear. If I was building medical devices or weapons systems, I’d go Mouser all the way, but I trust Tayda plenty for pedal parts.

It does! I’m a little surprised it didn’t get more traction here, although it wasn’t linked to any viral marketing, deceptive ad copy, or price gouging controversy. Hard to compete when all the pedal has going for it is that it sounds good. :rolleyes:

I bet I can get a better shot out of this phone with a little effort, it was just something that worked well with the ancient iPhone 6 I was using up until recently and I never had to think about it much. I tried a snap on fisheye lens while I was taking those pics, but that didn’t make a lot...

I know exactly when I put this on my wishlist, because I mentioned it in @HamishR 's thread - HamishR Post Took a year and a half to make it through the PCB lifecycle and turn into a pedal which is about my usual rate. As promised, it's a really nice tubey ampy overdrive with lots of subtle...
