Big +1 kudos for all the hard work guys!

I would still love a box, pcb & parts kit when available but you guessed that already right? :mrgreen:

Yes -- I'm going to do my best to stick to the previously developed list (most recent version below) but of course some people change their minds and some go MIA so things may vary a bit. I'll be getting boxes from Donner and assembling parts kits for those boxes only (most likely). I am assuming 15-20 of these will happen. I ordered more boards than that so the remaining ones will also be for sale w/o parts for DIY folks to use.

Note that these kits will only be available to forum members and to remain fair they are one-per-person unless there are extras.

Will report back in about 4 weeks when the boards arrive :thumbup:

Wow! cool this is taking off again. I was on the road since the 11th and had not checked this thread. I am still in for a pcb/kit and box if possible.

Thanks for all involved in keeping this going.

I've got a spot waiting on my board for this... It's gonna be nice having this as a pre-dirt booster / post-fuzz buffer, then having my BPB at the end of my chain; post SBEQ and pre-Delay /verb... Good times. :D

Sorry, I'm kinda new to this, and this thread is really long, but how exactly does this work? Is it too late to get in on this? Thanks for helping out a newbie!

I am really getting excited about this as I am getting frustrated with using germanium treble boosters.

After having some trouble making speaker cables last night I am still trying to keep my confidence up that I will actually get mine to work. :boohoo
