That looks absolutely fantastic! I try to clean all the flux off my boards after I'm done soldering, but they still don't look half as neat as @MichaelW's builds (or, frankly, most of the other builder around here). If he had to bend the pot legs to make them fit into an enclosure, then that's...

This is a prototype 3-in-1 build for a client (my one and only client). When he engaged me for the phaser build, he was also asking about fitting three circuits into a single enclosure. Ideally he wanted all three in a 125B enclosure, but we settled on a 1590BBS. He's a fan of my soft-touch...

Here's my second build, using the BLMS limited run enclosure. I think it looks significantly better.

You mean a Burr-Brownish flavor?

Looks great! Have you by chance measured the current draw with either and both channels on? I’m curious how much current the optical bypass requires.

@disssa - the last picture in your first post shows the "innie" DC jack soldered to wires, which are in turn soldered to the PCB. I'm guessing you had to un-solder something and re-solder during final assembly? Great looking build and PCB!

Thanks! The Cast Iron is indeed a Timmy with an active mid control. But the MT-10 Mostortion (aka Misfit/Oxide/Quantum) isn't really a Timmy derivative. At a general/very high level, they are all diodes in an opamp feedback loop clippers, but take a different approach to tone control. The...

I reviewed my order history, looks like I only ever had a single 3260. That was from Mouser, back in 2020, part number 968-CA3260EZ (this link might work). But Mouser now shows that as "Restricted Availability: Mouser does not presently sell this product in your region." (My region is...

The AionFX Quantum is yet another PCB for this circuit. I built two of those back in 2020. I ultimately sold them, then later decided I wanted to revisit that circuit, so I built the PedalPCB Oxide. Fun trivia: the Karma MTN-10 is a current-production clone of the Ibanez MT-10 Mostortion...

I've really been loving this Effects Layouts Spice Runner (based on the Way Huge Saucy Box) that I built recently. Enough that I felt the circuit deserved my custom PCB treatment. Here I present my "Gigantic Sauce Container". The circuit is interesting in that the drive knob is a dual-gang...

Side jacks on a 125B? Blasphemy! I’m just kidding of course! That’s one of the things that makes DIY so satisfying, you get things exactly like you want. Absolutely great great looking builds, thanks for sharing!

At first I thought that 1n5817 was a MELF resistor.

Bump for Edit 3, where I added a second build with this custom PCB.

So this is definitely a keeper for me. For now anyway, it's replaced my "Egregiously Expensive Crunch" (Cornish CC-1 clone). Having spent some more time with it, I don't think it's quite as EQ-neutral ("transparent") as the CC-1. Specifically, I think it might actually cut a little bit of...

For that, I actually use double-sided foam tape.
