This was a lot of fun! I had built the zen drive prior, and before that done kits, but this was by far the most challenging build I've taken on yet. Thanks SO MUCH to PedalPCB for not only having the highest quality PCBs I've seen, but also selling those pre-soldered J201s. Good lord. Seeing the SMC version in person had me very happy I went that route. I'm still getting my confidence up on the build and sourcing side of things, so this is a pretty vanilla build using all the Tayda parts and their pre-drilled enclosure.
Also thanks to y'all on the forum for giving me a ton of reading material and helping with the research; I haven't done electrical engineering since college and even then they don't teach you much in the way of the practical aspects. The preamp sounds amazing, possibly because of all the work that went into it
Oh and does anyone know of an LED bezel that fits those pre-drilled Tayda enclosures? I tried the 3mm ones they sell but it's just a tad bit too wide. I'll probably redo that piece and drill out a larger hole sometime in the future.
I have some wacky ideas I'm prototyping and excited to hopefully post about here in the future!
