Wow that's a lot of wire!  :o

Looks great dude, how do you like it? I have one coming in the mail :)

Only had 10 mins play with it today, but I like it. Really nice and crunchy distortion. I was worried with all the wires in there (I'd laid out the knobs before I'd realised how I was going to wire it all so they ended up with a lot longer than I'd like), but it's still surprisingly quiet.

That's awesome dude...as always you made a work of art inside and out that box...you're definitely one of my favorite builders around here (no offense to anyone, there's a LOT of talent in 'Bean land, I'm just being honest haha) Seriously you do amazing work!

that looks excellent!  Mind if I ask how you mount your led's?
Thanks!

The negative leg of the led is soldered directly to the switch, it holds it in place. That's how I prefer to do it anyway when the design allows it.

Looks sweet! I'm getting more and more eager to get mine done. I still can't decide if I want to include the boost and gain toggle as toggles or footswitches... How do you like all the combos?

If I did another I'd probably omit the boost as the hi-gain kinda has it covered. The 3 stomps does get you 3 usable tones, I just don't think it's really neccessary. That and I'd rather save a bit of cash on hardware and free up a bit more enclosure real estate.

Yeah I was going to house it in a 1590BB regardless, but wasn't sure if I should run the hi gain/crunch toggle as a footswitch or toggle switch. I never really used the hi gain setting when I had a real Plexitone a few years back and really just wanted the lower gain sounds of the plexitone. Thanks for the input!
