I would have chosen something easier to start with if I knew any better. But I really enjoyed building it and I can't believe it actually worked the first time. Especially since I had to solder those SMD J201s myself. It wasn't straight forward, I had to move some caps around to make way for the right angle pins. I had to order some smaller 2.1 jacks because it is such a tight fit.
A couple of shockers: I am a beginner guitar player, my only electric guitar is an old Lotus Strat replica and a 15x Roland Cube. I have never played through a pedal
This is my first pedal ever and I absolutely love it, I have nothing to compare it to but the Cube has a pretty nice clean and this pedal gives it a little more clarity and the gain pushes it to some delightful crunch. The EQ is pretty responsive and I can get some nice tones.
Right now bias is set to 4.65v on all of them. the tone trim is set to halfway. I might experiment with the bias again. Overall loved working on it, learned a ton of stuff. I am hooked.
