I did make a few substitutions 2N5458 in place of the PF5102. OP07 for an LM308N and matched 1N5817 for D1&2, 1N34A for the GEs in D8&9, I tryed out a couple of matched pairs before I found ones that worked to my liking… other than that worked right out of the gate. This will probably be my last build for a while, we are moving yet again but this time to a more permanent place so I figured I would try and make it a good report.

 
I did lean an interesting lesson on matching components, the first set of diodes I matched worked great, but I did that in the garage and it was cold as hell ( wasn’t thinking when I did this) I brought the pedal inside to test on my rig the next day after the pedal warmed up to room temp the octave was flat.(no octave at all) 20-30 degrees makes a difference for sure when matching component’s.
