My Kickstarter Klein Bottle PCB and pots arrived today. I recognize some of the library parts used in this layout  :)

This will be a fun build, I hope.

Oh my oh my, what's going on with this VFE fever. I'm saying in a good way though.

Are those prepopulated smd chips? Wow, what's the deal with that?

For us boring, ignorant people... what does the Klein bottle project do?

The Klein Bottle is a great project for people that already have other guitar pedals (like most of us on this board), because you connect 3 pedals and can switch the order for the signal patch, and do something with customizing some feedback loops among the pedals too.

I'd be very interested to see a circuit diagram for that.

God I hope so, you're not alone in only finding out about this now that it's too late. I'd love to take a stab at building that thing, it looks epic!

I think I would have to give that one a shot as well.  This pedal is so new that I would understand completely if we need to wait a while to not take any business away from VFE.

I haven't discussed the Klein Bottle with Peter at all and I don't expect he has an impending need to pawn off the PCBs. But, that might change after his production run is finished. I'll let you guys know if it comes up.

I am patient I will wait in hopeful anticipation.

So I am absolutely not patient and figured out I could use this in our next studio time. However, I may have made a grave mistake and I went ahead and ordered 10 boards based on his online for production schematics (same ones received for kickstarter). At the time, all I was thinking was that I have done SMD do this should be easy and not that one of the parts requires programming, Microchip PIC12F509 I-/SN. So not sure if I can remedy this or if any of you know how to program this chip and with what because I have 10 boards and a smattering of parts for this project. I would be willing to share the extra boards if I can get it working and would be willing to solder on the SMD parts but only if I can get it working which seems really slim. Help would be appreciated if anyone has any experience.
