The pictures really don't do the dormant blue sparkle justice, but it looks very sparkly in real life. I ended up powdercoating it twice after boning the first copper dormant sparkle by using "non-chlorinated" brake cleaner...don't use that near powdercoat I found out the hard way. :'(
I used a white LED with one of my 3PDT breakout boards with a trim pot for LED brightness. This PCB is growing on me. At first I didn't like it much but it really responds well with a slightly dirty channel on a tube amp as Bean suggested. The best description that comes to mind is "chewy" kind of OD. Really makes my Fender Blues Deluxe sound nice and...well...errr.. chewy! I dig. Hard to put a finger on any other type of drive that gives that gritty, chewy sound. I will try to get some sound samples up soon. :)
Love it, great job. Nice faceplate also. I wish the metallic paint took better pictures also. I used a few and they look so dull in photos but they look awesome in person. This pedal has been on my board a few weeks and I really like it. Get some nice low gain grit to all out fuzz.
You have these stomp boards on osh park? I just realized this would be great with the really bright blue leds
This looks really cool. Dig the faceplate too. It's a pity I'll have to wait to february to build mine...

This is nice to hear. I knew that mr. Bean is gonna offer something unique on the table.
Nice looking build, rully!
Thanks for all the positive comments! :)
@jimi = I haven't had a chance to look at this 3PDT PCB since I designed it in July, and was using Eagle back then. I will take a look soon to verify everything and see if I can't release it as an open-source thing for the community. I really like the small size and the ability to use a trimmer to adjust the LED. Fits in a 1590A fine. On a really tight build you can use a Piher trimmer (which has top and bottom adjust) and mount underneath but the Tayda Bourns knockoffs work fine on top of the boards for most builds as seen above.
