I don't have much more to add to this that hasn't been mentioned by others. Got the board and chip from @Nostradoomus along with a bunch of other goodies.

This one wasn't really on my radar since I'm not a huge chorus fan. So, I was more interested in the challenge of it. High part count and all. But I was pleasantly surprised by how cool the effect is. Ended up playing it for quite a long time just trying to find something. It's a bit of a journey. You start playing and hear random lo-fi sweetness and I kept trying to find more. It is a good time. And that was just clean! Throw some dirt on it and it's another world of fun.

Great layout as always. Pretty easy for the high part count. At first I had no sound but after a quick audio probing it turned out I didn't have one of the pads completely soldered in one of the SMD transistors. Quick fix so we were up and running making weird noises in no time.

I experimented between the NE5332 and the MCP602. To my ears they made no difference.

Love the faceplate. Not 100% keen on the knobs but still look cool imo.

Overall a great project from PPCB.
