This pedal was a nice easy build. The biggest challenge was getting the loop working correctly. Thankfully, I had left over shorting jacks from my first amp build. I used one Switchcraft Type 12A and one Switchcraft Type 11.
As for the sound of the pedal, I can see how it may help if you have a really large pedalboard or long cable. It definitely colors the sound.

As with most PedalPCB boards, the layout is very nice. I especially like the revised spacing of the switches in the V2.

Finally, for anyone wondering how I fit the jacks in the side for the loop. I took a guess at the space I needed, however I initially used Lumbergs. This became an issue as the Switchcraft jacks protrude a bit more. After some terminal bending, creative soldering, and pushing some caps out of the way I came up with this.

If I had started with the Switchcraft jacks, I could have had a little more room. I don't know if These would fit in the V1. I believe this area was revised as well.

Overall, nice build, cool pedal. I will definitely experiment with it later to see what impact I can make it have on my tone.
