Hmmm... Did I miss the first round then? :greensad oh well..

No matter, I'd still prefer a box and kit but would gladly settle for a box and pcb (maybe someone could post a comprehensive list of the parts needed for it..?) :mrgreen:

I'm assuming this still applies...

This was from the original schematic that BJ provided for the buffer and the booster. All parts should be listed but maybe mmolteratx can confirm.

I am still interested even if it is PCB only. Would have liked to get one of those boxes. Those are sweet Donner!

Thanks,
George

I'd still want a second box and PCB, even if it had to be sans parts. I'm sure I could muddle through... Though I would prefer parts. :D

Still very much interested if it's just a box and PCB but would prefer parts as well if available.

I would prefer a complete kit with the boxes, but would also be just interested in the pcb.

Due to a busy IRL schedule I haven't followed this as closely as I would have liked. :confused2 Can someone please let me know what the one knob box is all about as well as the multi knob version.

What is this booster supposed to be like? A treble booster, a different take on the BPB, or RRB? Dirty boost, clean boost? Tone shaping or buffer?

Thanks!

Jonny Rocket, I am not ignoring you. We have had a string of appliances and other things that have failed lately and I still need to fix the dryer. :crazy:

I also need to submit my SYOD twins review, but it seems every time I play them everything is different. The big surprise is I seem to prefer V1 where I greatly preferred V2 when I was loaned some Saffron twins.
