Cool looking build, and a great layout. Coincidentally I've just spent the last half hour looking for a vero layout for a MKIII, but I might have to put this at the top of the list of layouts to etch when I get around to it.

Thanks for all the compliments guys. I enjoy the aesthetics of Mr. Lyons pedals and i think it shows in my work sometimes :) For those of you wanting to use this layout please keep in mind the layout is updated version and is not verified yet (it will be this weekend) but i am 99 percent sure its good to go.

That's really rad! The lettering kinda reminds me of MB's style. I too though the same thing as Jacob first glance, but your is unique I'd say. I see you went with a Germ diodes this time instead of a germ tranny. How do you like it compared?

I appreciate it Magic :) I did go with germ not because i thought is sounded better,  it just happened that way :) I had to do some trouble shooting because there was an error in my layout and i had some "Flying tracks" During my trouble shooting i replace the tran with germ just to eliminate it as a cause of my troubles.

Thanks, believe it or not it's just a spray can type "hammer" finish from the home improvement center.
