There's a certain sigh of relief that comes when a build with this many parts works the first time.
I highly recommend taydas pre-drilled enclosures for this one.
If you're a fan of high gain pedals, I can't recommend this enough. The Be OD deluxe was one of the pedals that made me turn an eye to building my own. I've tested it in my effects loop and in front of my Engl Fireball 24. It sounds great in both places.
I've continued to have issues recent with no film decals. Which is weird because they always been great. I ended up leaving the film on because I didn't want to have to scrape off a failed decal. I'm not sure what is causing is but I put in an order for a heat gun that I'm going to try to use instead of simply baking it.
Im not sure it was necessary, but I used shielded wire for the first time. I boughy it with the intention of using it on a 3 in one Revv build that I have planned but had extra and figured it wouldn't hurt to use here.
One of the things Ive worked on improving in my builds is getting the pots as straight as possible. This means taking it and put in quite a few times and tightening the pots before soldering. Maybe it's common knowledge to do this, but some of my earlier builds have pots at a slight angle. It's worth taking the time to do right. Especially on Behemoths like the Thermionic distortion.
All in all, I love the pedal and enjoyed building it.
