Hi there,
I just completed my Cherrybomb, using Mallory caps (sorry Brian, but I read your update section tooo late, to get the hint: "Mallorys are definetly to large....for this pcb"). I didn´t want to spent a fortune on orange drops (they´re f***** expensive in germany), so I used Mallorys, which are also inside my guitar builds, and I really like them. Take a look at the pics. The enclosure is just polished. Transistors used: Q1, Q3: BC109a, Q2: 2N2222a, I also used a B2.5k pot for the gain controls.
In front of a solid state amp, this pedal - IMHO- sucks (as described, the gain boost is at the last 10% of the pot). In front of my tube amp it´s really nice. Even at low gain settings, you´ll get a nice crunched tone.
The other one is a GT-2 clone, layout by tonepad, which I always wanted to build :)
It took about 40 connections, to get the pcb started, but it has a really nice tone and a quite versatile use, regarding the multiple settings you´ll get.
Hope you like them.

very nice
Yowsah! Love the look of your gt2... sleek!
Nice builds man :)
Very nice.
These both look great!! I've never heard of the GT-2, I'll have to check that one out.
That is a massive amount of connections, but it still looks clean and neat. Great execution!!
