Just another Klon

I wanted a buffered Klon for my work board (after a buddy of mine absconded with my other one).

Rej's new PCB is a lot nicer from a wiring standpoint.  Most of the buffered Klons can get a bit annoying when trying to keep the wiring clean.

great looking pedal allaround, but that footswitch wiring is just to much....awesome!

Beautiful enclosure as usual, and the wiring is insanely clean. Is this Amphenol ribbon wire ?

Yes, that is the exact same wire.  It's wonderful to use.  The only thing to pay attention to is that the jacket will shrink and tear if overheated.  But that isn't a really big deal, IMHO.

Really clean looking build!  Just wondering if you could share how you mounted the PCB to the enclosure?  Thanks.

THAT. IS. STUNNING. Tip of the hat to you sir, you've done it again.

Stunning! Just out or curiosity,why the stereo input jack?
Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

Yep, I mounted it with 3M VHB foam tape and a couple of pieces of scrap acrylic.  It was a sandwich of:

VHB - Acrylic - VHB - Acrylic - VHB

That tape is really strong.  The board shouldn't go anywhere.

Just in case I change my mind and add a battery later (highly unlikely).

Always inspiring!  Amazingly clean!

What is the finish on this one?

Alright, I just looked over the pics again... I completely missed how awesome this is on the inside. I mean I knew it was neat but this is ridiculous! (in the good way) That is by far the best, neatest, off the hook wiring I've ever seen! I read Jimi's comment on the input jack and when I went back and looked at the pic, I thought to myself, "he forgot to wire it up the jacks!".  Did a double take to finally see they really are wired up. THEN. Then I looked at the X-wing switch wiring. Holy Crap... There is nothing more to say, move along, I'm done now.

Absolutely ridiculous! I will study this to see how wiring should be done. Fantastic.

Beautiful pedal! Everything about it.

This is nice to hear, as I have ordered a fair length of it (the multicolor 10 conductors version) to give it a try. I doubt I'll come up with something comparable to your work though  ;D

As for the finish, I'd say PPP's Copper Translucent.

This is very VERY clean !!!
I don't usually like ribbon wires but you've done perfectly !!!
