Carefully plugged it into a guitar and amp using the same test rig. I put some Ge diodes in, but will need some real play-time to pick the right ones. All the functions seem to be working. My wife has headache, so I had to keep it as quiet as possible, which wasn't easy. That thing is a beast! Sounds good. Myth dispelled. Thanks for reading! Hope you had a great day.

Indeed.
As with any build, take your time....and be sure to take a LOT of breaks.....
Breaks are the most important thing....those, and guarding against the impurifying of our precious bodily fluids.

Thank you, don't mind if I do.
Again...this pedal can be extremely loud. I had my Fender CDR on 2. (wherever is the lowest)...my Tele at the same....granted, the pedal could have been turned way up but I had a Marty, don't use the amplifier! moment. I need a break....

So this what was meant when somebody told me to “Get a Life!”?
At first I thought he said “Get a wife”, but I have one and getting another… well they’re like potato-chips — next thing you know you’ve got a harem, or was it an empty bag? A polygamy suit? Well, something…
Nice build Fig, but if I took that many breaks I’d never get anything done. Who am I kidding? I don’t get anything done now, without breaks. Just lots of fractures.

It's difficult to be certain whether in fact we live between building pedals, build pedals between living, or even build pedals FOR a living. I've come to realize all warrant many breaks, but that could just be me. As @jeffwhitfield sang and was ripped off by a couple of hippie-type troubadours I am a
, and a rock feels no pain. But if you're hit by one -you will. Now I wonder why Jeff and Garfunky would argue over who gets to be more like an inanimate object? Life's funny that way I suppose.As for polygamy, Geometry was never my best subject so I'll be of no use there. I do wish, hope, pray all the best for

My goodness I just had a fright!
I walked into my lab and nearly called 911, for "someone" had ransacked the place! Parenthesis!
I think I might work towards doing one of those streaming kajiggers. That picture snapping with my old cellophone took nearly as long as building the pedal ( and yes....thankfully there were breaks ). I just need a wee more space before anything such as that.
House-hunting has proven to be extremely frustrating. Not just because the market is currently in a shambles (naturally), but also because we actually have to consider our age when looking. This was brought to my attention by my wife, whose consul I held in high regard....up until that moment.
Really?!! We can't just pick out a house we want and can afford? She's right of course. It's consideration for things most of you wont be considerating for ages right? Don't blink my friends....don't blink.
Meanwhile, I've a bench to restore to a usable status, and you've something more interesting to do than read this post.

in da cart...
I ordered one of those smd sorting boxes. Makes sorting much easier. I had 45 mmbf5457 that I ordered awhile ago. Got 4 quads. I only plan on keeping two quads so if anybody needs a quad, dm me. I'm sorting some 2sk209-gr by idss. You need two two matched pairs for a Blues Driver.

Next up....
...I take on The Pharmacist! [very dramatic yet somehow comforting with a touch of spring music]
Revolver/Rubber Soul imho are arguably the Fab Four's Finest. Just thought I'd add that...not sure why though....oh, yes..the song Doctor Robert is on one of 'em, and so Pharmacist/Doctor...yeah that's what it was....groovy.
I've had several requests from members to take more breaks, so we'll work those in as time permits.
This build is special because the graphics are under the masterful direction of @SYLV9ST9R and will be my first Tayda UV submission. What could go wrong? (shhhh.....the whole cockiness seemed to work on the last pedal...I'm hoping it holds true).
I'll look over the build doc and make sure I have everything (duh Fig...you probably should have done that first).

Revolver is not possible without the shift in the songwriting, exemplified by Rubber Soul. Gone were the lovey dovey tunes, replaced by themes of self-doubt, the passage of time/nostalgia, arson, and so on. The difference may be subtle, but its a big difference. Sure, new themes began appearing earlier, but Rubber Soul was the first time the Beatles cut an album...something as a whole. George Harrison considered Rubber Soul and Revolver as a double album. One was an exploration in songwriting, the other an exploration of sonic potential...with the help of Geoff Emerick. Rubber Soul would have sounded much much different if Normal Smith had moved on before and not after its recording...
