It's been a while since I've finished a build. And it feels great! This is a GCFX Shred Dominator PCB designed by Yours truly. The plan with this PCB design was to make it fit in a 1590B with top-mounted or side-mounted jacks. Rej built his proto with side-mount and I'm happy to say the top-mounts just fit. The new GCFX Helvete (HM-2) PCB uses the same footprint and control locations as this one so it will go either way as well. I'm hoping to get my Helvete finished tomorrow.
*** NOTE - The 1590B drill template in the build docs are for side-mount jacks. I'll get info for top-mounted jacks soon. ***
Thanks again to all who participated in the Metulz Trio group buy. If you missed out and would like a PCB head on over to Grind Customs FX website and pick yourself up one there.

Man that looks awesome! Your pics always look pro as well. Great work! I hope your pick hand can keep up with the urge to put it through the paces😀
Thanks guys.

Not at all. The pedal is a lot faster than I am :)
Looks Awesome!!!
Is it weird that for some reason I'm floored by the solder work on the pot lugs?
indeed, those are some fine looking solder joints, especially for that ancient thru hole technology you see in egyptian tombs from time to time.
Only thing keeping this from meeting mil-spec is the wire strip lengths and the bare wire at the bypass. ;)
Are you cleaning the flux off after? If so, what do you use?

Thanks. Might be a little weird but I'm not judging.

Yes. Just using alcohol. I prefer the 99% stuff but even 70% works. Just takes a bit more time and more applications.
Great looking build Mark. Too clean in and out.
Wow that looks magnificent the decal is rodiculous. Love it.
Thanks again for the kind words, guys.
I added a note in my OP as well as the group buy thread that the 1590B drill template in the build docs is for side-mount jacks. I'll get the info needed for top-mounted jacks soon.
That is beautiful, Mark.
That looks awesome! Love seeing top mounted jacks on 1590Bs.
