Kliche build, oh man.

The sounds this thing does, I mean it’s close to a lot of things but it has that something you can’t really put a finger on.
Mouser for IC’s, LMS for the knobs, 1n34as from Stompboxparts, and the rest from Tayda. Sounds amazing as most of you already know. I got the “mini” PCB because originally I was going to rock it in a 125b. But the more I thought about it the more I wanted to stay true to the inspiration. So I used a 1590bb. I didn’t have the enclosure ready to go when I finished the board so I tested it pre-boxing. Fired right up.

Yup, a great pedal. Finnegan really nailed it.

Those are some strange looking 1N34As. Anyone know if they're legit? Almost look like remarked Russian diodes. Just curious... if they sound good, that's all that matters.

Got them from https://stompboxparts.com/semiconductors/1n34a-germanium-diode/

This is the best sounding pedal I’ve made so far, so if they are bunk I want bunk diodes in all my future builds.

Of the five I got two of them were exactly .300 on the meter so I went with those for the build.

The paint on the diodes covers the glass. The third photo on the website shows what it looks like with the paint scrapped off.
