I built this board a long time ago and it's been on the back burner until now. I went thru a few different ideas about how to get the pot to go where I wanted it to on the board. I roached one of the solder pads removing and installing the pot going thru different ideas. I wanted the pedal to look like the original, and I wanted the PCB to be stabilized inside the enclosure via the pot. This is where I ended up.
Got it mapped out
Got the mess made up ready to be installed
Just enough room for the power jack
Starting to organize. The boost footswitch and power jack are wired up here
Got the input jack wired up
Moving on to the other side, I populated the main footswitch. The wires are all tucked under the board so I used my multimeter to figure out which was which
I forgot to get a pic of the board completed with the output jack. Here's the front
And with the boost engaged
Well, kinda. The indicator light for the boost side stays on when the pedal is off. I'm not sure if I like this operation and I may stare at the board until I can figure out how to make the indicator for the boost turn off when the pedal is off, as well as the main blue light turn off when the boost is on. Right now when the pedal is on and the boost is on, the LED is blue/green. I'll have to play with it for a bit.
It sounds great! It's a pleasant clean boost, and the gain section is nice as well. On its own you can definitely hear it's an electra circuit but pushing it with a tube screamer it's a cool light/medium overdrive tone.
