This pedal is pretty wild. I always wanted one of these EHX tube pedals back in the day.

If boards are made available, I'll make sure this is my first tube pedal build

Thank you @vigilante398. I really appreciate you taking your time to make these tube circuits available to us. I requested the lab rat as a diy pcb months ago and you kindly and respectfully replied and made it available even tho it was one of your production pedals. I am super excited that you are working on this one. It seems like fun weird circuit. I’m sure @Robert appreciates you helping tackle some of the projects off the wish list hahaha. Thanks to both of you guys! Cheers @vigilante398 and @Robert

Thanks going out to @Robert for putting up with all this Tubeliciousness on his board, @vigilante398 for all the temptubetions and thanks @drgonzo1969 for zipping up this thread and instigating...

Don't thank me yet, this thing is going to be ridiculous. It's at 102 components so far not counting pots, switches, or jacks. It's not going to be a relaxing laid-back build.
EDIT: Progress so far. Components up top still need to be placed then routing needs to happen.

I just appreciate the effort you're putting into it, whether it becomes available or not. I'd like to build it, but I still have to finish up some older SushiBox DIY builds, let alone new C2CE builds.

It pretty much has to be made available, I have to justify the amount of time I'm spending on it somehow
Routing is 91% done and it is getting tight in there. I put in a non-urgent PCB order the other day, I'll try to get this finished up today so I can add it in and combine shipping.

I’ve had that happen. Emptying the browser cache cleared up the problem for me.

PCBs showed up today. This thing has so mamy freaking parts. I'm missing a couple things, so I'll get it verified when my next Tayda order comes in.
I've affectionately named this thing "Sweater Vest".

Right now it is 1:21AM (I'm in USA central time). I'll be in bed soon, I have this nasty habit of saying "Okay just one more thing. Oh that thing didn't take very long, maybe just one more thing." And then I never sleep.
