I built this for my 13-year old son, who is getting really good at bass. Got a PCB from a user at Madbean, and set to putting it together a couple weeks ago. After realizing I needed a few special parts, I placed a Small Bear order and waited. When it arrived, I was bummed to find out that they had made a rare mistake and sent the wrong transistors. They corrected it, and fortunately the replacement parts arrived today, in time to get them installed. I had done all the drilling and decal work while I waited. I was lucky enough in my careful work to have made no mistakes, and it fired right up! A cool effect.
Notes on the build. It was my first time using a few parts: the XLR jack, the Lumberg I/O jacks, and the pre-wired momentary switch from Love My Switches. I like the Lumberg jacks a lot, but I probably won't get the pre-wired momentary again. It's 18-gauge wire, way too thick to use conveniently in a pedal build, as you can see from how I handled the wiring there. It took way more time than just wiring it normally would have taken.
