Noice! I was pleasantly surprised to see this being offered so soon! With all the feedback I’ve seen and read, I figured it’d be a sure winner 🤷🏻‍♂️ We shall see

Great looking build! I just ordered a pcb yesterday for this too. Sorry to hear you didn’t gel with it

Thanks! I fortunately have a friend who paints cars. I’ll have to get a better pic, as it’s really a bit more turquoise in color

Finally, someone got the joke..lol

Yep, for some reason I just don’t like top mount that much lol

This is certainly one of my favorite OD’s I’ve built! The tone is very Full and punchy, and gives a Strat a muscular sound for sure. Right now this is my favorite build

Here she is

Build complete and sounds great! However, there is an LED issue. When the 2.1 plug is inserted in the DC Jack, the LED illuminates very dimly. This happens in Bypass mode. I also get a noticeable Pop when engaging pedal

Think it’d be ok to sub a 100K Audio pot for the Vol control instead of 100KB? I don’t have a Linear

Gotcha. Regarding that 56R on the Pwr Supply. I suppose I could just put that directly on the DC + jack straight to the board...right?

Thanks again phi1. What about the 1k Input resistor that was added to aid with the filtering to the 220pf that’s on the FSB pages? Good idea or not necessary?

I have this same question as I’ll be building this as soon as my PCB arrives. How essential is the 56R as in the original schematic, and the reason for its omission here
