When you finish your builds we can gather them here (you can also tell your build story and anything you learned or funny stories along the way that you wish to pass on )

For now I'm going to call it the "was".

I should have some knobs later today.

Hey Guys,

What's the toggle switch for?

The toggle switch is for the 3 type of clipping diodes. (N914's,N4001's,LED's)

I'm about to go wire mine all up!

The three options are actually as follows:

FETs
1n914/1n4001 symmetrical matrix
LEDs

OK,
The 2n2219 and 2907 are the first clipping option. Now I can see that when looking at the board and refering to the schematic.
I was looking at each pair of diodes and thought they were seperate clipping stages.

Just finished mine up today. Great sounding pedal!

^^ Nice! I like the sparkle blue, and those knobs are pretty sweet.

Love those knobs but I can never find the right size wrench to put them on. Im always unsure about whether theyre actually tight. Did you do that finish yourself? Any interest in painting me a box or two in that finish? Looks awesome!
