MattG's Egregiously Expensive Crunch

Way back when @MattG posted his original build of this, I asked for a PCB of it which he graciously sent to me. After getting all the parts, it went together very quickly which is awesome but I dilly dallied on the faceplate and getting an enclosure for it... thanks to life and work getting in the way.

Well, I got the enclosure and the knobs but no faceplate yet but I do want to post the build report because it is a really cool pedal and a breeze to build.

I went with a gold enclosure and gold knobs to go with the theme of Egregiously Expensive. When I finally get around to doing the faceplates, I'll go with black and gold.. to continue the theme obviously.

Looks great! Thanks for posting the build report!

Of course! This was a really great layout and I love the bypass switching using really common ICs. I've been digging into using the 40106BE to handle two bypass switches since it doesn't use all the pins for a single one.

I did this with two relays for a dual drive pedal (Paragon build I did for a friend).

I haven’t yet made a dual electrical bypass. I think I drew up the schematic though. It’s conceptually easy/straightforward, but the PCB routing isn’t pretty.
