Still trying to streamline my build process, and I decided I spend too much time cutting and stripping wires. I still haven't tracked down a manual, and it's missing a couple parts that I'll have to 3D print, but when it's up and running the time savings will pay for itself after about 80 pedals. So two weeks or so.

Bags to divide up some micas(coming soon to the trading post)
And smd transistor tester board from the awesome @KR Sound !
Thanks again!
Looks like a more “hobbyist friendly price point” alternative to the $60 “adapter” Atlas sells
May have to look into one of those sometime… or I could just not be lazy and etch my own, but that’s a lot of copper to dissolve!

Yeah. I couldn't bring myself to pay their asking price after the amount of coin dropped on the 75. Thankfully KRSound came through!
Hopefully give it a go in the next couple of days. I really need to get my bench sorted first though. It's getting chaotic.
Nice looking boards! I realize it's assembled from the front, but have you considered adding lines to the bottom silkscreen to "box in" or link the references to the pads so there's no confusion when using those references to identify parts?

I saw a comment on YouTube saying the Mosky King Rat was loaded with a TL082, and I got curious because of how ratty / not JFET OA it sounded, so opened it to find two 8 pin op-amp footprints -
It indeed has an OP07 and an "LM308". Luckily the 308 is socketed. No idea what it actually is, but it doesn't sound like a 308 with the Distortion dimed (no saggy fuzz ducking). And, it looks like the 308 pics used on AliExpress
So anyway, I loaded it with an NOS 308H. Had to cut the leads shorter than I normally would to fit it back in the box
It's 10PM here, so can't demo it right now, but I'm looking forward to comparing. I also want to finish tracing it, and see what's up with the extra caps and resistors
For those curious- the Dirty diodes are BAT85, Fat diodes are BS170 / BAT41, and the op-amp switch has the poles tied to lugs 1&3 of the distortion pot, with the throws attached to pins 2&6 of the chips
