Finishing the Divided Octave
I thought I jot down some possible issues/improvements concerning the instructions:
Most of them really aren't big issues, but they could cause a novice to start "panicking"
- germanium glass diode orientation issue
Agreed. This should be addressed in the instructions, since these double-banded diodes are very confusing.

I think this is adequately covered in the Divided Octave instructions. See notes on pages 11 and 13.

- some of the smaller values film caps that should be orange aren't
There is a note to address this concern on the finished pedal photo page of the newer BYOC kit instructions that says:
"Your kit may come with different color capacitors, switches etc. Don’t be alarmed by this. They all still do the exact same thing."
Unfortunately, some the older instructions lack this note. Good idea to add it.
Thanks for your comments. I'll make sure that Nick, who handles the instruction updates, is aware of them.
