VIIB Vibrato - Love this one, sounds really cool.
Couple of annoying things while building - I had the wrong kind of LED, apparently a common anode type LED exists, and I had 10 of them. Luckily I had one single common cathode, so thats in there now.
bummer is that the red side is ridiculously bright, so I need to find the CLR. I dont really want to pull it all apart to do so though :(
I found a picture of someone else's build and set the trimmers to roughly where they were at so that I could start the bias, plugged it in and it immediately sounded pretty good so I guess I'll just leave them where they are.

All modulation should have intelligent relay.

It was really nice that the first two j201s I dropped in this worked just fine, jfet pedals without trimmers make me nervous. Overall the pedal itself didn't really excite me though, I feel the Mach1 is now my pedestal pedal for low gain.
The knobs are a bit big and I had to use tweezers to apply the labels.

Q1 random p416a at around 40hfe, 10ua leak
Q2 MP42b 85.9hfe 239ua
Q3 MP42b 92.1hfe 434ua

I tried to play satisfaction into it and I think it works. I changed volume to A500k as I think unity is below halfway, and C4 is 4.7nf for a little less harsh treble.
