Finished this up this morning. I have been working on pedal finishing and am still not happy with it but getting better. Tried some spray enamel on the enclosure and got some rippling at the top right so I think I must have gone a little heavy there.
Transistors are from Oleg. As others have mentioned, transistor selection for this circuit took a really long time. Fortunately/unfortunately I never get many transistors from Oleg with much leakage. Most will top out in the low to mid 100s but the majority are <100 so it took a while to get the leakage necessary for this one. I ended up with (hfe/leakage):
Q1: 76/238
Q2: 87/117
Q3: 98/149
Went with a British racing green color and a racing stripe for fun. Also, giving the Reeves Electro style Hammond 1590TRPB enclosures a try.
The pedal sounds great and is definitely going on the pedalboard.
