Sheepylove Bee Sting

On the top of the build docs: "It’s woolly, it’s greasy, it’s Sheepylove". I do not know what that means but it scares me a little. I was expecting a bee hive but instead I got sweet harmonic distortion and when I rolled off the Drive I got boost and transparent overdrive. Great circuit with headroom and controls which make it easy to fine tune tone. I guess I have @HamishR to thank for contributions to this tone shaper - I dig it so thanks! I think this is my first Sheepy Love PCB and I got it as a gift from @bluedmc777.

The build
I sanded a bare metal 125b and to get the white writing I painted the top matte white. Then I sanded smooth with 1500 and applied the waterslide decal - after it dried 24 hours I sprayed with 2k matte clear. I used 20mm gold knobs, a gold footswitch and a gold 3mm LED. Under the knobs I used black washers and nuts, they are not visible so this was a waste. I was trying different knobs. I was thinking black and gold like a bee. There is a PPCB top jack plate and Switchcraft jacks. I wanted to put the LED beside the footswitch so I used a piece of wire to cancel out the spot on the board and used a breakout board with LED from PPCB.

A very fun pedal, and I give it high marks because it is really a boost, an overdrive and a distortion pedal all in one.
Note: In wanted to purchase their faceplate but when I tried to check out at their website said they do not ship to my address so I made a waterslide using their artwork

And it's only possible because of the venerable and mighty Chuck. I would say that I have learnt much from him, and I probably have. But a lot of what he knows is on a level that struggles to make it through my pitiful brain. Still, we end up with fun pedals! Still, this one was largely on my own...

I think many of us struggle to process his knowledge lol!

Well, you designed a great circuit with this one.
