This is my first pedal PCB project. I've been doing strip board and pedal modifications for awhile but decided to give the premade PCB route a try. I was not disappointed. There is obviously a very large amount of thought that goes in to each and every one of the projects on this site and the layout is basically circuit art in the was everything is laid out.

This one was tricky as I wanted to use all Panasonic ECQ caps and polystyrene 100pf. The spacing is incredibly tight. The caps are actually fanned out if you look horizontally at the board but it worked out just fine. I used whatever I had on hand value wise of my dwindling Allen Bradley resistor collection.

For diodes I used Toshiba 1S1588 for the hard clipping and Telefunken BA243 for the four soft clippers. Both sides high gain. It sounds great.

I'm a little bummed about the footswitches not being rotated symmetrical, but I drilled the hole too close to the screw pillar, by like millimeters.
