No problem, just ToesMaxx yourself into prehensile feet like this guy. I appreciate that. I used a repositionable spray adhesive on the stencil. It left some fuzzy edges where I overdid it — something I'd work on next time.

For the benefit of anyone else troubleshooting the issue, this solved the problem for me. I wasn't looking forward to rework, and I'm glad I found @Stickman393's suggestion.

I certainly get in that mood. For what little it's worth, you have my full approval.

Sick build, my man. What does this do to the supply voltage compared to a 1N5817?

Stencil and rattle-can spray paint. Then a clear coat. Regarding side jacks, one thing I don't see discussed much — though I'm sure I'm not the first to say do — is that the shorter signal paths to the switch could conceivably cut down on noise in noise-prone effects. Given the choice, I'd...

No need. I'm not territorial about my posts, plus it's a worthy topic to explore. I have a long list of pedal names in waiting. It's the only area in which I feel competently creative. My graphic-design skills are woefully underpowered. I am hatching a Germanium Filter on vero, after seeing...

Thanks for saying so. I have some real-life mild OCD, and a lot of what I see in it is killing me. But it's cool to hear at least the effort paid off.

Yeah, they're not usually my first choice, though I'm far more tolerant of them in a 1590B than a 125B. I got the idea in my head for that straight line from switch to jack tip and then wanted to see what it would look like.

It's like paraffin.

Oh, yeah... I also learned that I won't be using the oxblood 3PDT footswitches from Love My Switches in the future. I took a flyer on them because I dig oxblood, but I was getting floppy terminals at the same temperature I always solder footswitches. Maybe it was from a bad batch.

Drawing some inspiration from @comradehoser, I got a wild hair to try my hand at a point-to-point fuzz. I'm chalking this up to a learning experience as I'm not really satisfied with the result. First, the circuit looked substantially better before I had to rework the pots after spacing out...

So now I have to admit that I frequently do that with outtie DC jacks to keep the protruding jack from looking quite so silly. The inner one I use as a spacer, and the outer one I use as a bit of a visual transition from enclosure to the stark protrusion on the outside. I'm so dedicated to this...

... should've put it on the inside.

I appreciate the wisdom. I do not appreciate not being able to cross it off my ever-expanding build list... but then, that's neither your fault nor problem. On the list it stays. I prefer to think of it as chime. With the pedals I tend to keep on my board, I can definitely dial up some...

Many thanks.
