I finished this one up today and I am having a lot of fun with it, and it sounds great on bass. I play a P bass with TI Jazz Flats and it sounds fantastic. I really like both clipping options, but this thing *really* shines as a boost sans clipping, and the tone control just sings.
I get a good amount of volume loss when switching clipping modes (LED gives me a little drop, Si gives me a big volume drop), which I suspect is normal, but I wanted to mention it here just in case it is not.
I feel really good about this build - it is probably the cleanest one I've done yet. Those jumpers from the board to the 3PDT took way more time than I thought they would, but I think it looks pretty slick - this place has given me so many cool ideas, so thank you to all of those folks I've taken ideas from. THis is also the first time I've actually remembered shrink wrap as well. Getting my workspace better organized is paying off!
I'm not in love with the knobs - I had some baby blue Marconi style knobs but they were too large with the toggle switch. I'll find something that works. I'm intent on baby blue because those old Gulf colors just make me feel funny inside. These are some anodized aluminum knobs I got from Tayda and I think that green could look good, but these are just a bit too pale for my liking.
