I guess October was VFE month for me ... I finally built a choral Reef I had laying around for awhile and last week I built a Dragon. Love them both. They both have more controls to tweak than my simple analog brain can handle ! I scored one of the monthly (October Halloween) custom powdercoat drops from Stompbox parts and it is killer.

Finished a Cliffhanger (Dover Drive) this weekend too ... its working great but still experimenting with the PNP transistors.  I will post my opinion on that when I'm done.

Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

That's dope. Do you have s favorite between the two slopes? I've never experimented on guitar before, only synths way back.

I think I like the 6dB so far.  I'm playing with a Tele thru a Fender Deluxe and the 6 dB gets me everything I need but as with most pedals with a lot of knobs ... you dial in what you think sounds good and then you change something a little and say "hmm I think that sounds a little better ??"

I do agree with Brian's comments in the build document though ... I think the 6/12 middle setting is a bit of overkill.

Great circuit though.
