Is that a Stompbox enclosure? Looks great! Your skill is improving nicely!

I am blown away on many levels. First, the pedal looks fantastic and clean. Secondly, it is a tonebender, so I am always a fan of these pedals. Lastly, the lack of a charge pump is mind blowing. I'm going to have to breadboard this guy. I'd love to drop my charge pumps for these circuits.

@genXslacker and @swelchy Thanks for the ideas. I think I will give your ideas a try. I will need to order some graphics in the near future, so it is worth a try.

I agree with you that the finish does not appear to be done correctly. I’ll give the mineral spirits a test on the base plate. It is worth a shot. Thanks!

I purchased a champagne Tayda enclosure. I am using UV printed stickers to add my art. Prior to applying the sticker, I'll clean the pedal with isopropyl alcohol to review oils and dirt. When I cleaned the pedal, the finish became very streaky and the streaks would not buff out. I think...

I have used that standoff that you listed from Amplified Parts. They work well.

I love the design. Great build too.

That looks to be the cleanest board that I have seen. There is absolutely no flux on that board and everything is in line. Perfect.

I recognize that my next statement is blasphemous, but I am not a fan of a Rat. Despite that opinion, I wanted to try this variant. With Rat’s I found them to be too dark for my taste, but this variant fixes that issue. I had purchased these mirrored knobs (20 mm) before looking at the layout...

Very nice!

So, like Syphillis, fuzz is making a come back for you? 😂 All jokes aside, great build. Clean and sharp.

The enclosure is a metallic clear from Tayda. I like it a lot. I would breadboard it, because it does have some great tones. Thanks!

Gator and Chuck did a great job optimizing this Hellbender/Pagebender hybrid pedal. It definitely captures the typical Tonebender sounds, but you can set the bias to get some sputter-ish fuzz. The EQ is great addition for a Tonebender. I made the PCB, but there was a few errors. The...

@Chuck D. Bones Thanks! I am trying to learn some of the engineering, so I appreciate the technical explanation.
