Preliminary build doc is up: http://www.pedalpcb.com/docs/LowTide-PedalPCB.pdf
I got it running and dialed in. What a fun effect! Thanks a ton for making this happen.

What did you end up doing for the j201 and 2SK208-Y? Did you go with the smd stuff?
I have a big bag of through hole J201s that I bought back when they went on the last time buy list, so I used them. I’m sure the SMDs would work just as well.

Haven't biased a bbd chip before. Is it audibly pretty obvious when you have it set correctly?
It is pretty obvious. Set the depth to 100% and turn up the output/amp loud enough to clearly hear the signal. There is a range on the trimmer where you will hear the chorus effect. At either end of the range, there is quite a bit of fizz. Just set the trimmer for the least noise.
I did have to fiddle with the external gate pot on mine to get a setting where I could hear the chorusing clearly…you may have to play around a little to get it completely tuned in.
You will go down in History if yoiu are the first to show this Build!!!
I'll buy one off you if you can spare a square. Seems all supplies have dried up.

This one is certainly a challenge to find all the parts for! I think I've just about chased down everything, but the BAT48's are only available from Mouser in the US. Any good subs for those that would work well but might be in-stock from Tayda? My apologies, I'm no electronics engineer!
Where are you Grounded?

Isn't mouser based out of Texas? If so wouldn't that be quicker than tayda?My ground connection is plugged into a wall in Seattle, Washington in the US

Thanks for your help, everybody! I ended up ordering a larger case and plan on messing around with a Son of Ben (once they're back in stock) in there as well just for funsies. I think they'll pair really well.

The code is slightly different from the build docs, so I figured I'd ask: is this suitable replacement for the LM78L05?
