OD is Glorious

I tried this circuit with the D9E Ge and a 5mm red diffused LED and the sound was glorious. I love this circuit and that is why I keep building it. I love that the PPCB board is small and has very few components yet the sound is full-on. The LED seems to make it a little lower-toned and Timmy-like; louder but YMMV. I hate to keep a clipping LED hidden so I exposed it out the right side of the enclosure.

The enclosure is a Tayda Matte orange with a Davies 1470 Clone Knob (25.5mm OD) knob. The decal is a waterslide made on my laser printer which is not so excellent. The decal was sprayed with matte clear. Inside it looks messy but it is all there. I used Lumberg jacks and a low profile footswitch. The pot is on-board and it fits great. I bent the legs and insulted the board. I used a pot with the extra long legs so I could keep the board toward the D.C. jack. I completed the baord before I got the short caps @Harry Klippton so the tall caps are bent low with insulted legs.

I absolutely love it with the LED and I love it with the 1N4148.
