Title: Couple of small builds to warm you up for a big one.

Think of it as pedal foreplay...

Perfection. Can't wait to see what's coming.

Very tidy although I'm not sure why i'd expect any less from you!

What is your opinion on the Opto-tron bypass? i'm keen to try one out instead of the usual 3PDT.

It took me a bit to find the LED on the first one. Clever! Are the resistors on the daughter board pull downs?

The wiring on these is downright artful.

LEDs are hidden :) I do that a lot.

Do I recommend the Optotron? Does the pope shit in the woods? Yeah, big time ;) The ONLY downside to them is cost and I believe they're worth every penny. Everything else is upside. More robust stomps, they don't pop and they make wiring a joy.

Resistors on the daughter board are a Klone thing. Might need to be there as a bit of anti poppage. Can't remember (someone will be along any time now with the correct answer).
