The pedal is easy to assemble. I had an unforced error where switch one did nothing, so if you were wondering... a 470n in place of a 470p causes switch one (boost) to do nothing. Swapped a 470p in there and I got the full experience. Thankfully the PedalPCB auditorium let me discover the problem before the boxing. Useful sounds emanate from the completed pedal; the chorus is very chorusy. The Reverb is very Reverby... and the boost is very boosty. All are adjustable... for instance the Reverb knob will go from spring reverb to outer space. The chorus is pleasant, and the boost is clean but not drastic or overpowered. What a fun little project.
I used three Taiway short bat DPDT on/on switches. The pots are all B100ks. The build docs called for 4 three milimeter red LEDs. I went with the low profile Tayda 3mm bezels above the switches and for the main LED I installed a 5mm red. I used this precision Gorva 1590bb enclosure. It has a flush mounted bottom and it is very well done. I went with all Lumberg jacks, a 2kg footswitch and a Love My Switches breakout board. If you use these -I had to short out the breakout board LED with a blue wire and I had to slip=flop the "switch out" and "ground" wires because they do not line up with the LMS breakout board. I used three 20mm anodized knobs. I soldered the FV-1 onto the board and it was not difficult. The whole project only took the afternoon and I enjoyed it.
You can get many sounds and if you were thinking of making one... do it.
