Just etched this one to build it this weekend
EDIT: I just verified the board: layout is good and the pedal sounds absolutely amazing. This is getting boxed as soon as possible
In case anyone wants to etch their own board and @Chuck D. Bones says it's alright, I'll be happy to share it.
Thanks! I'll try to breadboard with what I have and see if I get reasonable drain voltages.
How high can I go with the drain resistor before it begins to impact tone too much? (if I remember correctly, the drain resistor is part of a filter somewhere)
I'm inspired by Brett and Cooder to give this one a go (it won't look nowhere near as good, I'm certain). Is there any alternative jfet that could work @Chuck D. Bones ?

"INTERNAL DIP SWITCHES
The Looking Glass’ Input Filter control is passive and interacts nicely with your guitar’s electronics when not using a buffer in front of it. However, when using buffered pedals before the Looking Glass you may want to adjust the two...
It's an STMicroelectronics one (in theory at least, might be rebranded). It's quieter than I was expecting
I really like the tone network. This will probably replace the Big Muff I have boxed right now
edit: part number is HCF4049UBE
Still a long way to go before I'm capable of building beautiful looking boards, but it works! And it sounds VERY good, Chuck! As usual.
Tone stack sounds fuller in the mids (and that's what the tone stack calculator tells me as well).
PS: Belated happy birthday!
Nice work! Thanks for sharing it!
Impedance is one of the many concepts in this hobby that give me a bit of a headache, and I was confused to see a 145k input impedance option. Isn't that a little lower than we'd expect on a buffer?
Should an arrangement like this (with the diode in place of the resistor, of course) work for tracing the curve? I'm not sure if it'd be precise enough, though, with my multimeters
