Hi All,
First time post and (relative) newbie pedal build that I thought I'd share. I've read a ton from members on this forum for advice & component choices so thanks for sharing your knowledge! Special thanks to ncdb07 for the pics of your immaculate wiring & layout - definitely inspired me to take my time & make it a clean build.
Next time I'll go without the bezel on the LED and position it on the end of the gun.
Cheers,
Interior pic...
Super wiring work. That is 100% pro looking!
Exterior (eroded some of the ink on the decals but I know better for next time)!
Thanks for the props! I have a Madbean Wah next on my hit list!
Killer man!
Damn tight! Hats off, sir.
Thanks guys. I also so keep the clipping diodes in case. I'm running the OA126's and they sound awesome. Any suggestions for others to try?
Great looking build. Super clean looking. Also, welcome to the forum. I look forward to seeing you wah.

Haha, "(relative) newbie".
Fantastic work!
Can't see a single trace of newb in there, beautiful job!

First off, amazing build and wiring. Second, those OA126's are suppose to be the best. You may also like to try the Russian D9E diodes. Supposedly, these were sometimes used in the Silver Centaurs. Cheers, Steve.
Wow! The level of "Newbie" sure has increased around here. Nice work!
That wiring is a lot better than I see on a lot of the other Klon clones kicking around. Very nice job.
Thanks for the kudo's!! I should have clarified - this is the 3rd pedal that I've built but the first where everything didn't come in a kit. My biggest fear was ordering the wrong values of capacitor & only figuring that out after it didn't work.
The OA126's are pretty sweet. They measured 0.67 FV so they have a very clean boost sort of sound but awesome overall. I just tried some OA1160's in there as well (~0.39 FV). They sound incredible. Earlier breakup and a very amp-like overdriven tones. Super brittle though - I broke 2 of them just trying to bend the leads. Good tip on the D9E's, I'll look for some of those to try as well!
nice build... clean and sweet wiring!
keep on building Man!!
Holy carp, dude.
That is fantastic.
I just bought 100 d9e's and 200 d9l's. So they're still up on the 'bay. Why do I now own 300 more or less identical GE diodes? I dunno.

That is a great looking build! Very nice work! I have been away for the last 8 weeks or so for training in Wisconsin or I would have noticed this sooner. I appreciate the comments about my build as well. Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the props! If I do another one of these, I'm going to try incorporating clipping diode switching with a small external toggle. Have you ever seen a breakout board for this purpose?
They are out of stock right now but I think you mean something like this: http://www.guitarpcb.com/apps/webstore/products/show/3186804 (http://www.guitarpcb.com/apps/webstore/products/show/3186804)
Yes! That's exactly I'm looking for. Thanks for the tip!
Update: found them here.... http://www.pedalpartsandkits.com/dpdt/#cc-m-product-9930193657
Love it :) Very well done!
