Finally got around to doing a playthrough of my Brown Betty build (https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/...h-brown-betty-dirty-sanchez-thermionic.23755/). This one comes with a switch to toggle between Thermionic, Dirty Sanchez and Brown Betty specs. Vero layout for the switch and some more info on that can be found in the original post.
I'm kind of on the fence about the pedal. It really excels at searing, modern rock leads but I haven't found much use for it otherwise. For lower gain tones I'm not a fan of how the soft and hard clipping sections of the circuit work together. Very hard knee on those LED hard clippers, I don't like that. However, they seem necessary because if you dial back the gain until they don't have much of an effect anymore the tone is kind of dark and boring. I got another Brown Betty board here, I guess I'll try to tune the circuit more to my liking for that build.
