Sheepylove Sarda aka Dylan159 Clown Centurion

This came with some goodies from @drgonzo1969 ❤️

For those not familiar, dylan159 has a number of designs that are a sort-of antidote to the mojo, with a dash of minimalism. In other words, what can we simplify, remove, or replace with common parts. This is a take on the Klon.

I gave away my Kilché mini after trying it out quite a few times. It just felt really “meh” and never excited or inspired me.

I’ll take this over a klon any day. To me, it has more bite and dirt on tap. It sounds good on higher gain settings, while the klon felt better doing the dirty boost thing. I could live without the “modern” setting, I preferred the BAT41s.

I didn’t have a 33nF, so I used a 27nF that measured around 30nF. I also borked the alignment and the faceplate is a bit crooked.

@szukalski alerted me to Dylan159 with the Narrowcast, his take on the Broadcast. With a couple of tweaks it is a great boost. The Clown Centurion is interesting and one I have thought about trying myself. I feel the same about the Klon, but like to try things just in case - you never know what can happen. I was sceptical about the Narrowcast but it turned out really well.

Now I'm going to have to check out the Core Shaper too! And FWIW a crooked faceplate is one of those "flaws" which add value to collectors.
