I am in the middle of doing my enclosure as we speak, but I haven't been able to test it out yet, because it's easier for me to have to enclosure done first, before I solder the DC jack to the PCB (no way to remove the guts from enclosure once DC is soldered on). Seeing one finished though, I can't wait for me to have it done. Congrats!
BTW, is the "Blue" the top toggle and "Red" the bottom toggle on the aggression settings?
I take it you only had one 14-pin socket
Also made the Tyrian.
Great pedal! Thumbs up.
Only one side is connected to circuit ground, not both sides. One side connected to the input jack ground and the second side connects (the jack ground) to the circuit ground which is common practice (at least it is my practice...). All grounds must be connected together.Your picture literally inspired me to also use shielded wires for cables, which "carry" the signal. Thanks for that!
Now I've become curious to ask why you're soldering both ends of the shielding to ground. Wouldn't it be sufficient to solder only one end of the shielding to ground?
I'm thinking that any signal that the shielding catches simply needs to go somewhere to ground, which would mean that one soldering point of the shielding to ground would be sufficient.
Best regards,
Christoph
BTW: I've also built the Tyrian Distortion and I pretty much think that it's the best distortion pedal I've played so far. Also it's very dynamic, since you can really hear a difference between using the bridge vs. neck pickup for example.

Used long lever switch but this is just a matter of personal preference.Looks good! I'm putting one of these together myself. I have a few questions if you wouldn't mind:
1. Would you mind sharing a pic of the top side?
2. Did you use the short or long lever for the DPDT toggle?
3. What kind of caps are you using for the box Film capacitors?
Thanks in advance!

Film caps are Wima box type.
Will post the top pic once I disassemble it for finish (assume you want the PCB top and not the enclosure)
