There's a bass control and an extra pair of clipping diodes in series which presumably takes some hair off. Might end up ditching those, we will see
I'm basically building all the overdrives cos I never went down that rabbit hole before

They supplied it with 3x J201s which was nice
Got some solder stuck in an eyelet and instead of taking a break I kept going at it and melted another cap, oops
The knobs are from Ali Express, the seller managed to send two different shades of blue in a pack of 5 so one of them is mismatched which is slightly annoying
It's a great circuit though. You need to know how it works to get the most out of it, it's like boosting a dirty amp, but good if you are a tweaker
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
PedalPCB use thicker boards than Fuzz Dog which makes them more difficult to desolder. I think I had some contamination in there, it was a real bugger
I have a container full of random LEDs of radically different brightnesses so I made a little LED tester on vero with a battery clip and a trim pot for getting the brightness right. Sort of Year 4 Science level of complexity but it will save time lol. It fits inside the same container as the LEDs and has test points for measuring
The LED was putting noise into the signal but I sorted that by wiring a 100uF cap in parallel with it backwards. It slowly fades in and out when the effect is toggled now which is a nice touch
It looks much less rage-inducing now (until you turn it on)
I dymo'd an old build recently but my labelling is chaotic. I had forgotten what it was let alone what the knobs do. It's a lot of fun but I find it too mushy for chords (this one, at least)
Though @Roberty the red knobs against violet LED would make my head hurt...
The NG-2 feels Big-Muffy (no sniggering). A quick google says it has two big muff stages into a fuzz face stage, which sounds plausible given how unruly it is: https://vero-p2p.blogspot.com/2020/07/pete-cornish-ng-2-fuzz-vero-layout.html
It sustains like a Big Muff but then single notes have that unpredictable spitting sound you sometimes get, so they have character. With different settings you can make it fart out or oversaturate too, so there is a lot of noisy fun in there. I would consider it more a special effect than a mainstay
