printable drill template for those who may need. LED is 3mm. I'm stuffing this tonight and already drilled but this isn't 100% verified, yet

Just a heads up my PCB is verified working now, and I am 99% confident in the component values. Someone with a real one checked them off.

A heads up, I have also tested various volume pots, and personally prefer the A100K
B10K works fine just gets LOUD fast, duh.

I imagine anything 10k or 100k would be fine, your preference.

Edit
Ok so i did a bit more testing. I think the A100k pot for volume sounds significantly preferable to my ears at least vs the 10k
This is a change in isolation, I didnt adjust anything else vs my redrawn schematic.

Very cool. I built a Keeley DS-1 from perf and pcb layouts. I need to mod my actual boss DS-1.

Nice - It's definitely more to get something out of a thing that I never even consider using. Unlike its blues driver and overdrive siblings, I have just never connected with this thing, so why not, right?

I went down this journey years ago and eventually gutted my DS1 and put a Rat into it's case.

I think I saw that thread! lol... but I already have 2 runts and 2 homebuilt RAT clones with 8 different clipping modes. I'm also weird in that I've never really been into the Boss pedal enclosure - though noting it does have its place and is iconic in and of its own right, hehe - it's just not for me. Also, if I change the parts, add the synths and fuzz options, and still don't like it, I'm out MAYBE $15 in parts (the enclosure being half of that, which I could always reuse for something else after learning the painters tape/JB Weld trick).

I think it *could* sound good through my Marshall, but not my Allen. We'll see. More to follow for sure.

Merry Xmas to all! I too am glad for this year to be over, at least symbolically. Looking forward to finding good things together in 26!
