Looks very nice to me.  Mine is in the works.

I'm curious to know what you used to hold the two boards together.

Very nice !

I use my multimeter for continuity checks as I solder in the parts.  Just follow the schematic to see which parts should connect to each other and check them for continuity as you go.  That eliminates many soldering problems.  I also like to check off each part with a highlighter as I solder them to the board.

Patience here is a real virtue.  And if you make an error, it's not the end of the world.  Troubleshooting is a process we've all gone thru many times.

Great 1st build.  Wiring gets easier as you go along.  PCBs with board mounted pots are fantastic.

I like how you matched the knobs with the enclosure.

Love the decals.  I like how they cover the entire top.  I just started on my 3 builds. 

I also like the choice/colour of the knobs.

That was super quick.  Looks great, also.

Will the Tayda LDR's work for this build?

Thanks everyone. Just started checking out Tayda and their "easy order" resistor page alone has me convinced I should give them a try when their next coupon code pops up. I won't need 100s of them, but just a couple dozen in each common flavor to do a few projects after I finish my undergrad in May.

IMHO, that's the way to go for resistors.    I never buy less than 20 at a time even if I only need 1 of a specific value.

Same here.  If it's from Tayda, I'll get 20 or 30 minimum.  If it's a weird value that Tayda doesn't carry, I'll get 10 from Mouser.  I also get my 100/200 lots from Mouser.   Mouser has the fancy ones, too.  ( those sausage resistors look pretty cool )

I'm doing some ordering and the website is super slow.  Anyone else experiencing this?

Also interested in a PCB.
