[PedalPCB] Another Gnat

A while since a build report, holidays and a lack of enclosures and vital components have reduced me to breadboarding and vero.

I did have time to finish my second gnat though. @Betty Wont is my inspiration on this. It’s a great pedal and sounds better than my first one. I breadboarded it and used that to test the diode and transistors before soldering them in (no sockets except the charge pump. I feel so liberated).

Lovely to play, but I ultimately want to sell it so I can build another, rinse and repeat. There’s a lot of zen in building.

That's some slick wiring! I see the @fig influence....

I really like the way this came out! I agree with @MichaelW nice wiring!

GREAT looking build.

I like the head-on shot of the Mosquito, one of my faves when I was a kid.

That flat canopy is pretty distinctive, but it's been so long I was looking online to confirm...

And the way the engines tuck under the wings as opposed to interrupting them...

... ahh, I see now "Mücke" ...

Guess I didn't need to dive into old plane pics!

The Mosquito was always one of my favorite planes…
