Well, I was a dorkasaurus and didn't get a photo of this PCB before I put it in the enclosure, but I think it turned out pretty spiff...

Using Tone Geek's layout and my Ceriatone Centura as I guide, I built this one to early/mid silver configuration using the appropriate mix of carbon and metal film resistors, a tantalum capacitor, metal film capacitors for all values <1uF, a mix of bipolar and polar electrolytic capacitors, and accurate ICs. The TL072s are upgraded to the IP version, and the fabled "Magic Diodes" are accurate to the pedal and were hand picked for the recommended ~0.35V forward voltage.

Wiring is as per the basic instructions, and this one even has the really nice stomp switch (I may eventually have to swap out the X-wing one on my Ceriatone for something like this).

As I mentioned before, this will be the last build of this type with the Tone Geek faceplate. Going forward, I'm going to make these with a fun new dino-themed enclosure. The first batch is on order from Tayda, but as the order was just placed today I've got several weeks to wait.
