Sheepylove Texel

This thing rules. It's unique as far as I can tell. It's designed by our own Chuck D. Bones and layed out by @szukalski

I've had the board sitting around for a while but finally got around to building it. I did get custom faceplate from Dave, but I scratched it up. So, this build looks like I'm cloning a Texel. Grabbed a pic of the faceplate that transferred it into Inkscape. Clear waterslide.

Damn this thing sounds good. Toooons of volume and that nice Ge tone. I think I used a 2N1308 for it. Just a nice sparkly clean tone with the Ge color and grit when turned up.

Glad I finally buttoned this one up.

Looks classy without the faceplace

I have this thing fully populated- just waiting on a spdt on/off/on to be delivered today. Excited by how many glowing reviews the circuit gets.

Looks great! I'm glad you enjoy it, all credit goes to Dave. It's easily one of my favourite boosts (if not the number one).

Nice build!
Glad you like it. A pedal circuit doesn't need to be complicated to be good.

Definitely! It's a cool circuit and a cool build.

I have the pcb but still need to order the NPN Germanium transistor. First new project!

I ended up socketing Q1 and Q2. I also put a 50k trimpot in R6. Waiting on some more Ge NPNs before I report my findings.
