Finally got around to boxing this thing. I ended up not using the flats switch. The etch image is stolen from Ironfire Brewing Company's Six Killer Stout, an amazingly good beer and a great brewery.
For some reason boxing this up was causing me so many problems today. Wires were burning, then I realized my solder iron was too hot must have bump the stupid little temp wheel on it, which I do all the time. Then I had a bad switch, then I had the clipping switch the wrong way. Oh well, its good experience right? The rest of the build was really smooth, especially etching the pcb and drilling the holes.
I like this pedal a lot. It's going on my pedal board for sure. I like that its a smaller version of the Fulldrive and gives me exactly what I need. I love the way single coils sound through this thing, it really lets them shine through so you can totally hear you are playing a single coil.
All in all great pedal. Totally loving the Etcher's paradise projects.

Very nice build. And you're right with trouble-shooting being a good experience.
I used to etch a lot of boards and then I went on a stretch of purchasing PCB's.
Just etched a board for a compressor and it's time to drill the holes.
