Yet Another Dirtbag Deluxe.
This was sort of a salvage job build. I wanted a test pedal for BBD chips, but didn't want to deal with taking my main one of my pedal board. I bought a populated PCB from Mike B. a while back (I don't believe he built it either, though). I swapped out the Tayda caps and cleaned up the board a bit and it was ready to rock. I had an extra 125BB, so I etched that. It would've fit in a 1590bb, but I wanted to use the extra box I had. Right now, it's got MN3008's in there, but I'll eventually put MN3005s in there....maybe.

Perfection! How I wish I had a Laser Engraver.

... dude, you can't use that for a dirtbag ... >:(
Great looking build as always. :)
Holy smokes that looks flawless.
Wow, great job!
Wow, Mathews himself would be proud of that one. Is the retrofit of the Tayda caps a personal thing or is there an audible difference?

A personal thing more than anything. While I don't trust the reliability of their electrolytic caps, the film caps are reliable enough; I just don't care for them. Some of them were a bit crooked as well, so I fixed that.
Damn sexy, sir. Wowsa.
Face melt!
Ridiculously cool. I love the detail, even down to the "ever so slightly" poking out LEDs.

Yeah, I liked it better with the LEDs just poking out, so I made some acrylic spacers to mount the LEDs. You can see one of them in the gutshot, it's that black ring.
Thanks for all the kind words, folks.
