I have had this board for some time now, and finally got some time to build it.
I boxed it before I rocked it as usual :( and adjusted the trimpots, and all I got was nothing :) except when i was strumming really hard, like it was really gated.
Then i desoldered it from the box, audioprobed, desoldered some components, checked them and soldered them back in.
then I found out I had measured at the wrong transistor pin  :'(
Then there was METAL :D

1: great looking build, cool graphics, love the Mesa pun in the whole build! 2: where did you get that ribbon cable? I'd be willing to pay $$ if you could send me a couple of ft.....

Love the Mesa style design, I did the decal for my chunk today. But you beat me to it!! ;) mines a 1590bb on the new board though, so It's a little different but still the Mesa vibe..

6 pots in that is a good ol squeeze! Well done on a neat one dude!

Thanks.
Paul, the ribbon cable is from Smallbear (http://www.smallbearelec.com/servlet/Detail?no=1045)
I only ordered a 2 ft, so I don't have much left.

Was the smallbear ribbon wire pretty easy to work with?

the ribbon cable is pretty easy to work with, it a little thin, but pretty flexible.
It's the first ribbon cable I have tested :)
