Very cool Alan! How do you like the sound?

Brilliant timewarp!

Hi Brook, welcome to the forum!
Great place to be!
So... which sunny Hastings are we talking about...? We've got a sunny Hastings here in NZ for example...

Awesome shinyness and perfect balance of Yin and Yang... or so..

My two cents: I have used and dig the finish line, works great for me. I find the switching that it provides very good and it doesn't give me a loud pop or so. Sound is very continous through the switching.
Out of 20 or so pedals that I built with it only one had some popping issue which seemed to be more related to the actual circuit; adding a pull down resistor made it quiet.

I'm also using THCustom Ueberswitch which I like as well, those have a very short 'ducking' that surpresses any possible popping and work well too IMO. However, there's a slightly noticeable drop out in sound due to that ducking, so it might not be the best for you.

I'm sold on the relay switching and much prefer it to the blue 3PDT switches.

Very nice one! Looking great all around!

Very nice peaceful score there! Congrats!

Awesome! Looking forward to that one for sure!

Very nice indeed! Even on the computer screen still quite impressive!

Pretty common complaint with the little PR amps. Reducing fist stage cathode bypass cap and phase inverter input cap values is pretty common on these and can get you there.

This will make a great difference if you decide to keep the amp and are happy to change things inside a bit.
Here's a great calculator to check out what value of bypass capacitor might work better for you; Fenders often use a 22 uF cap there which gives a very low end strong bass response in V1.
It may be better to use something like 1 uF or 0.68uF (typical Marshall value) there.

Nice one and yet another fab etch! Great job!

Awesome, thanks for the info!

Very cool indeed and the etch goes well with the pedal! Nice one!

Very noice and tidy build, Ben! Sweeeeeet!

Cool facelift! 
Looking sharp!
