Built 2x Pedalpcb Pauper aka Analogman Prince of Tone clones. Great sounding overdrive pedals. Had solder problems with the relic one and left out the 3 way toggle switch. The royal one is actually my favourite drive pedal.

Nice… how do you do the artwork ?

@Manuel Ammon Astounding and beautiful work as always. Very interesting relic job!
What diodes did you end up using? They look like 1N4148's?

I had the opportunity to A/B my Pauper with a real P-O-T. Very satisfied with overall outcome EXCEPT it had noticeably less distortion when the Gain was max'd out. Yes, the Boost/OD/Dist switch as well as internal DIPs were matched on both. Any suggestions as to a component "swap" that would...

I like my Pauper a lot, but wind up using my KOT more. I settled on using BA282's in my Pauper build which sounds different than MA858's to me. I also have a bunch of BAS33 diodes which to me sound more like the MA858/856. I used those in another KOT clone build. You might also like the King's Hand PCB (It's the MBB side of the Duellist). To me the pedal sounds like a "girthier" version of the POT. Very cool pedal as well.

Thanks for the information. Helps slot to understand the circuit of a Kot....

I realize this is several years old and I don’t know if I can reply to it, but I have questions on your Avery self adhesive printing. I do the same with Avery products either on a white backing or transparent. 2 questions. With the transparent I can not get it totally to disappear. Does the foil backing solve that or is it by printing over the entire piece of label. I.E. essentially adding the background to the label? Second. I had to spray a clear poly coating over everything for durability. Do you do any thing like that?
Thanks so much in advance!
This was my first try and I tore it so I “aged” it
