I've had this board sitting populated for a month or so and really wanted to complete it for christmas. I received my first batch of tayda UV prints and really like the final product.
For those not knowing, it's the equivalent of the PPCB Softii. It's supposed to be an ampeg svt preamp in a pedal, based on the catalinbread SFT. I've spend the last hour of the day before wiring that baby and ended up disappointed... it was really noisy. After reflowing all pots and switches, no change at all. I remembered seeing that this pedal could take up to 18v and that it made it sound clearer, or something like that. So all I had was my wife 9v wall unit, and it already made a big difference, guess my tester battery is at the end of it's life.
I'll need to play more with it, but for now I consider it fully functionnal!

that does not show up in the pics bit yeah, not overcrowded like I somethimes do. Thank you!
this lack of svt is unbearable) so I built a softii. I still wish I had the 'peg the same amount and never use the pedal. It's been too long since I've played a real svt to make an actual comparison but I'll still go with "pedal trying to sound like an amp." Sounds good but my feelings started at warm and are approaching tepid. Should give it another try through my new cab. Unicab after was definitely useful to me when I first built it.
