And dead quiet too. I read one guy on Reddit complaining about hiss or hum but I've had no issues. The initial quick "make sure it basically works before I put the knobs on" test turned into 20 minutes of Strat, JanRay and this. LUSH.
And balls!! (couldn't resist - there's a joke here about tip cleaning as well but I'll quit while I'm ahead...)
Had another go with my Ram's Head Pi fuzz today, this time into simulated amps on my Revival Drive - sounds immense! Waiting for some purple knobs to arrive, which will obviously make it sound even better.
Also contemplating a Blue Fool (modded MXR Blue Box) kit, but I really need to crack on with my amp build!
Left is the Death Drive (essentially a Green Ringer into Rat, with some circuit tweaks and extra controls), because Rats are life and I don't have anything this doomy.
Right is "KOT with everything" because sod waiting 18 months and paying 300 quid
I like the textured-powder-coated enclosures too. The only question is whether demo labels stick to them...

I have a brief clip from my initial switch on which I’ll post once I work out how best to do that.

I’ll try and get some better YouTube vids done when I get a chance.
Overall a slightly tricky build as I initially tried to fit in a battery but that wasn’t going to happen in the end. It’s also odd because you have to flip over the daughterboard for the boost switch to end up with the LED in the right place, hence the wires for that one being twisted compared to the other. The wiring for the jacks are also flipped left to right so the in/out wires cross over underneath the board. None of these things is any major issue but gave me a little bit to scratch my head about during the build.
There were also a couple of component values that were different on the photo in the build doc. Again not a problem but gave a little confusion as I usually use that as a sanity check before I trim all the component legs after soldering
Blimey that looks quality! Particularly like the attention to detail aligning the retaining nuts A++
Glad you like the death drive @stickyfiddle I absolutely love mine. I've had that same problem with not soldering the switch properly just in case before. Good idea in theory lol
Gone through my parts box for my Zander Foxxton Woods PCB. Pretty much there, just need the case and pots. Looking forward to that one
I have the KOT next. That’s going to be more of a hassle nut-washer wise as the LED hole is too close to the switch so after I’ve reamed out the hole to fit the bigger bezel I can’t get the washer on the switch at all... I guess that might also go without the washer, by necessity!
