New Misfit build

[lars]

Here is my build of the latest Misfit pcb. I jumped at the chance to get the board with a verified CA3260 for the great price Mr. Bean offered. This is an outstanding overdrive/distortion pedal, and yet another great pcb/project to try. I can see why it gets so much love from studios and session players. It just does exactly what you want a dirt pedal to do, without getting in the way of your playing. The 3-band EQ is one of the best I've used on a dirt pedal. The midrange control is especially effective. It can take the pedal from chicken-pickin' clarity, to full-on scooped heavy tones that are borderline metal (I would say, no, this pedal does not do metal).
For the design aesthetic, I'm not really sure what I was going for, other than trying to get inspiration from the original pedal. I guess I wanted that mid-80's "this is a guitar pedal that came with your NES" feel?
It doesn't look like any other pedal I have, that's for sure.

Nice. Haven't played through one of these yet. Got a demo?

I'm a sucker for old Ibanez stuff! Will have to watch for this to come back in stock. Love your build!
