Boneyard:

Best sounding plexi clone by far but a bit of an ordeal to get ironed out. I had popping on the clean boost switch so i had to add a resistor in to the switch (after asking for help on this forum), also the high gain had the squeal problem so I had to build in a klon buffer between the switch and the PCB. (you can see it wrapped in masking tape to shield it  if you look carefully!) I LOVE this pedal. Best hard rock overdrive out of everything i've built but I was surprised by the issues with it as I built the previous version and didn't have any of these issues. Anyway, it was a good learning experience and I appreciate Brian's hard work o provide these great projects and all the extra help I got from everyone else around here  :)









And also here is a Guv'nor from tonepad (excellent etch from haberdasher)
I love the fact that this has a 3 band eq. This makes it way more versatile than many of the other overdrives out there. Great for classic rock and also does a pretty good scooped metal sound with the 3 band eq. I painted it using masking tape to give a van halen/racing stripe design. The LED (which is impossible to capture in a photo for some reason) is superbright PINK! It look's super 80s which is pretty much what i was after. I'll probably swap out the knobs for gold marshall style when i place my next parts order.

That boneyard layout totally makes me thing Superdelay. I like the subtle graphics on that a lot.

The finish on the boneyard is outstanding. I LOVE that finish. The pedal sounds like a monster too.

I second your feelings about the boneyard, it's my most used pedal, Love the thing.
