Fun build. Since it had all the amp switches, I tried this one direct into my computer. I was definitely getting some tones that I would use on a demo. I had to dial back almost all the gain and roll the guitar volume for clean tones, but that worked. Pretty easy to get high gain sounds.

Another one to add to my pearl gray vintage lab equipment aesthetic for the PPCBs with faceplates.

And for everyone’s entertainment- the chip from when I dropped it while I was showing my wife, who doesn’t care but tells me it’s nice.

Did you use the stock B10k for the gain pot? I had a hard time using mine because it was so in your face gainy. I put in an A10k and it made all the difference. It spreads the gain out over a wider range of the rotation and gives you access to some of the lower gain sounds.

Oh good idea, thanks! I did do stock. Yes, it’s so much gain early in the travel.
