Dinosauria - your board is built and tested. I drilled the case yesterday and primed it this morning. I'll paint it and add Decals tomorrow.

So i had a busy weekend but i was able to squeeze in some cot50 rocking and man it sounds sweet. Its really nice and transparent and not a very aggressive overdrive. More subtle but it was exactly what i was looking for for bluesy kinda stuff. I prefer it in the overdrive mode more than the treble boost mode but overall its a great sounding pedal, not to mention how it looks, really nice job Mike!

No worries dude, glad you like it. I think it would be really ideally suited to the stuff you're using it for, and I think you'd much prefer the modded version I made to the original, which is more on the trebly side of things.

Afraid not, and they're not that expensive, so I doubt I could make one for cheaper

Dinosauria - your pedal casing is painted, decal'd and lacquered now. I'll probably build the circuit into it on Friday or Saturday after it has cured sufficiently.

i'm in that maybe stage at the moment. i think a hot cake would be a good replacement for a blues driver. i can't remember what it's based on.

It's an overdrive design, it's supposed to sound Voxy, it's a good mid gain overdrive as far as I know.

It's £129 apparently. I imagine I could build one for £60 no bother
