Yes, there will be a volume on the output, unsure where the gain control will go

Do LEDs actually light up as they clip? I've always wondered this.

Yeah, my grumbly wolf from timhulio does this. When it clips the wolfs eyes glow red.
Too much rawk makes the wolf ANGRY.

Utterly useless feature, but I like it.

Good to hear it got there, but that's frustrating! Let me know how it goes.

Gavin's OCD Looks brilliant. As does Filtercap's Fuzz Face. How have the online sales been? I've been shuffling people over to the website every time they query about one of the pedal's you've built for me

So far a few email enquires and one sale (Green Muff), some people seem to take umbrage with the price of things so I point them towards cheaper alternatives. I don't think my prices are high, but people are strange. I'm sure it'll grow in usefulness when Thomas updates the images of the pedals with the "new" decal versions.

indeed, those do look more professional than the cut and paste decals.

I'm learning in stages, none of the visual side of things has come natural to me. I am visually retarded.
