Okay, the red one looks better than it does in that last picture. Stupid Blackberry phone camera light and focus issues!

I love to hate my Blackberry phone as well ;)
Hmmm... the right one I'm guessing is an uproar... the cuicado has me tho... not sure what that'll be
¿Cuidado es Red Llama?
The other one...maybe a Grapevine?

Si! Llamas son peligrosas.
The other one (not a Grapevine or an Uproar) is a play on words that my wife came up with.
ego driver, then?
Them's some seriously nice paint 'n' decals.
Just two questions, though -- what language is "Cuidado" in, and what does it mean?
I hope this doesn't trump you matt, but here's what I'll be boxing this afternoon. I finally got my prototype working, this will be released soon...

That only trumps me if you rename it "A Man with a Tape Recorder up his Nose".
I'm not sure I follow...

You've gotta watch the video. Til the end.
Hope you're doing better than I am today. I got stuck on kid duty and ended up playing soccer in 94F heat. Barely got the hardware mounted and maybe 10 joints soldered so far.
Now I get it... Monty Python for the win.
I haven't started yet. Just got home from church, planning on working while everyone naps. Unlike your area, it's cold and raining here. We actually had snow falling during the week.
Jacob
Are you releasing the pedal or board? I started mocking up the taptation schematic in eagle a couple weeks ago but I haven't had the motivation to finish it. I even have the IC's sitting on my desk :D
It's HOT & HUMID here, to hot to work in the garage so I took a nap in the AC :)
Josh
I will likely release a taptation board if people want it. I've been thinking it'll be good to release more PCBs than just the scuba muff.
This board I'm working on is just for JMK pedals until I retire the pedal from the line.
Jacob
Meh. Only got one finished today. The Llamadoodle is about half-way there. Still, I'm pleased with this one, and it sounds great.

Gut shot tomorrow.

In Portugal the "Cuidado" word means "be careful".

In Portugal, this is exactly what you should be careful of:

What a fun little distortion! I used an audio taper Gain pot instead of a linear taper, so more of the sweep has "overdrive" sounds and the "fuzz" sounds are bunched over at the far end. Totally monster with my tele, but very touch sensitive. Better pic and guts later.
Finally, an in focus picture of this one:

Gut shots as promised.

I was getting a fairly woofy distortion when I breadboarded this, so I was constantly trying to tweak it to cut bass. When I was pulling the parts from the breadboard, I noticed I had a bad cap value in there that was probably causing the problem, so I just built this to stock Red Llama specs with the exception of the audio-taper Gain pot (as mentioned above).
(http://matthewwhitworth.com/fxbox2011/disorder-guts.jpg)
I wired up this EgoDriver board back in October, and I think it's just stock specs. (I didn't breadboard it in advance, so I can't imagine what I would have modified -- although my notes suggest that I probably used the recommended changes on the Drive and Volume pots.) I skipped the LED clipping since I've got that in a Slow Loris and I'm building a Boneyard. I was pretty "meh" on this when I first wired it up through my test rig, but I thought it sounded great yesterday. I still need to put it through its paces, but I think I'm gonna like it.
These were actually my first completed 1590B builds (although I've got two more just waiting for me to do the waterslide artwork and two more that I haven't drilled or breadboarded yet), and here's what I learned:
Just because you've done a few 1590A builds doesn't mean you won't be tight for space in a 1590B! Measure, measure, MEASURE!
I love gtr2's 3PDT boards, but I was embarrassed that I wasn't able to get them perfectly straight in the enclosure because I measured so poorly and crowded everything up against the jacks. And on the EgoDriver I got the jacks so close to the Tone pot that I couldn't fit the stereo/switched input jack and just moved everything to enclosed jacks. Oh, well. Live and learn.
Those are precisely the knobs I would've picked for that Snarkdoodle! Looks really good. I'm liking what I've heard about this circuit but already have a Cosmopolitan, Egodriver and Cherry Bomb lined up...too many ODs, too little time!
No need for embarrassment Matt, it's only us who really cares anyway and we all have the screwy guts pedals to join with you.
The worst is when you're building for someone else and you make a crucial error in your drilling that requires you to order a new enclosure...
Jacob
Nice builds mgwhit. Very pro looking decals and paint/gloss work for sure. I gave my first Egodriver to a friend, missed it and built another for myself. ;D
