And when I wire a puppy up this cleanly...

I hope those components know just how lucky they are.
There are plenty of pots who'd give their wiper, just to live in a nice tidy enclosure like that.  
Bet she sounds as good as she looks too... well done mate, your pedal geek peers salute you ;)

LMAO! But seriously, he's right! Clean as a whistle, wow!  :o

You could have added a pcb or two in there  ;)

You could eat off of that thing! That is superb Jacob.

This classifies as "elite clean" status.

You should fill the rest of the pedal with Peeps or something.  Just because you can.

Fill the rest of the cavity with GOOP so people know you are professional.  :D

That's a neutrino, right? How much wiring do you do out-of-the-box?

The first Neutron Drive was a Neutrino. That's not true of the current production models persay, except that they are both dual op amp overdrives with a similar topology. Essentially, both circuits are derivative of the TS circuit, largely based from the Son of a Screamer DIY project. Pretty much ALL boutique overdrives look the same.

I kept the Neutron Drive name because I liked it, but no, it's not a neutrino.

This particular PCB allows me to tweak the tone circuit, as well as offers options for clipping. I can have clipping that's in the feedback loop of the gain circuit, and/or as a shunt to ground on the signal path after the 1st stage. I can also do asymmetrical clipping in that first stage, and I've added pads to do mosfet clipping in the post gain stage clipping section.

Oh, and I'm not sure what you mean by wiring out of the box. I do all my wiring in specific ways I've learned that work for me. I'm in the middle of designing a jig that will enable me to wire cleaner and faster, but that's still in progress. There'll be a build report on that at some point.

ULTRA clean.

It's a stomp / stash box!

Best post on the forum

I mean wiring up everything (minus maybe the DC jack) before you put it in the box.

The Peep'd picture makes me happier than you know. 

I <3 Peeps. (just not for eating)

I might just start putting them in my friends' pedals to see how long it takes them to notice.  Perhaps even attach them to a battery snap.  PEEP POWERED!

Is that yellow thing a "peep" ? Are they bathtub toys like rubber ducks?

Not at all... they are marshmallow covered in sugary goodness...

Only the bestest seasonal confectionary available.

That and those hard large jellybean like candy with the marshmallow inside them. I dunno what they're called, but I LOVE those things.

And thats why I have to lose 30 lbs...

Meh.

If you'd put the LED above the switch, you'd have room for two peeps.

Fixed. Also, I thought it was more yellow, but if you think it's gold...

I still have a pack of 5 left over from Easter. They were on sale on Tuesday when I was in superstore. Two 5 packs for $0.44.

You can come over and share if you'd like.

Every Easter, I Peep my Sunday morning bandmates' pedalboards.  It's a lovely tradition.

By the way, based on this thread, this is literally about to happen to my SoulTrane build:
