Great pedal.  I love the LED clipping!

Crap!  The pic didn't show.  I'll fix it when I get home.

Great looking build (inside and out)!

I know there is an error in the board regarding the clipping LED's, but I can't see how you fixed it.  Where did you connect the LED cathodes?

I just wired it on the underside of the board.  I felt that doing it that way would keep it from looking a little rigged if I sell it and someone opens it up.

Totally.  Very cool -- and, again, nice job!

Great work once again!  I love those knobs.  Just got a few from SB.

I have to say, your decal designs are by far my favorite of all the builds I've seen here. Top notch!

Me too.  They feel really solid and high quality.

Wow!  Thanx!  That's an amazing compliment on this forum.  I insist that there are a LOT of guys on here that are a LOT better than me though.

I must agree your decal graphics and layout is very appealing to the eye. Glad to see you got this one working! That PCB is a perfect fit for that size enclosure..

Wow!  Thanx guys.  I just make them look pretty in hope that noone notices that I really don't know what I'm doing.  ;D

I just finished my EgoDriver and love it. I have to second the opinion that your decals are some of the best I've seen. They are simple, yet very complex if that makes any sense. Great job.

Very tidy.  Gotta be pleased with that, nice work!  :)

Good to know! I have one combined with a Green Bean in 1 enclosure (search the forum for "Banana Split" and you'll find it), maybe I'll swap out the IC's

What did you have in there to begin with? I have an NE5532 (I think that's right anyway) that I thought about saving for a future Egodriver. I wonder how that would sound? Not surprised the 4558 is a winner, though...

I was using the TL082.  It sounded good but the 4558 seems to give me a lot more clarity.
