And it’s a one-finger A chord…

I wish I could tell you that you're wrong but that's pretty dang close to the truth.
Was it with the New Tele you were getting!
You didn't show NGD!?

Sure I did!
But no.... It lasted one afternoon and I had to bring the Les Paul back.
I like the Tele, but not for testing pedals.

Sure looks wrong to me

That's how it is, and it really doesn't sit well with me. 
Silicon diodes, different transistors, a handful of component values changes, OP07 opamp in the distortion, and the Octave mix is now handled with a digital potentiometer controlled through the PIC microcontroller... I presume for uniform operation with a variety of expression pedals.
I've never seen the internals of the V2 (1590BB) unit so I'm not sure if that one used the digital pot or not. The original V1 in the sheet metal enclosure definitely did not.

Sigh, this pedal was so totally not anywhere remotely on my radar......but I just had to squeeze one last Coupon Code order in and ordered the Parentheses....hahah. Plus I have this kicking LM308 that was gifted to me by @swelchy that needs a home I'm not overly fond of the 1590XX size enclosures though. But I had to have the "extra Ge diode clipping mode" with the rotary switch.....

Just build another one with the PCB flipped over...

That’s uh… way smaller than the one I’m making. Like 6x smaller. When will it be available?
That was my reasoning.... Using rotary switches it gets big pretty fast unless you sacrifice range.
I'm hoping I'll have a design finished up soon. This one was just a proof of concept and isn't very pretty inside.
