Thanks! looking forward to getting this one boxed up. Trying to decide if I'll put it in the same box as the Troglodyte reverb board I picked up from Aleph Null too that I haven't had the change to finish yet

Very cool! I know this lettering workflow all too well. So many quick wipes before I get it looking how I want. I've been trying a dip pen into a paint pen refill, for extra control, but it's temperamental. Looks great! I have one of these boards just about ready to finish too and will keep...

I still use them on occasion, as I bought a billion of them at one point--especially in a build that's tight on internal space--but I prefer the neatness/size of some other options

For what it's worth, Moog replied to me saying they have ordered 10 from their supplier, but 5 are spoken for, so if you get in touch with them they might have a few available (that was yesterday though).

For what it's worth, Moog just sent me a note that if I ordered today I'd get it June 12. Also on the Daisy Discord someone from Electro-Smith said they are working on a Canadian distribution partner

Sent you a message, just in case you still have any of these left

Ooo I could be tempted. Don't have a project for one. What are you building? Also, I just got an email from Electrosmith this morning about pricing and stock, so I don't think they are halting production, but maybe Moog in Canada is going to adjust their price/stop carrying them?

For what it's worth, this one sounded great with the regular cheap ceramic cap in C3 (I did have an MLCC 470 for C4 though). My friend is very happy with it

Thanks! I don't have the pedal in front of me, but I'm pretty sure that's a regular ceramic 250pf cap, not MLCC, as that's all I have in my parts stash too

Glad it's working! Don't worry, we've all been there. At least nothing was upside down, etc. I've been curious about the Beholder. How do you like it?

Apologies if this is a dumb question, but it looks like you don't have 2 of the transistors installed. I assume you've tried it with those inserted?

That dot on the corner is meant to indicate pin 1. The PCB also has a notch in the silkscreen to show which way is up, so yeah, yours needs to be flipped the the way, unfortunately. Unrelated, but any reason you've got some parts floating off the board like that (the diode and at least one...

Like @Fama already said, only in specific cases. Some folks like to try out different op amps in their drive circuits, for example, or if you've got a case where you have a vintage IC and want to compare it to a modern version (like in a Rat build). I've had cases where switching to a different...

You solder the socket to the PCB, then just place your IC into the socket. Great for changing out ICs in cases where options matter and for troubleshooting. I'm sure most of us have been where you are before too, don't worry. Slow and steady. Going forward, just be sure to double check part...

Sounds and looks great, as always
