Yes, the other one I've designed a layout for is the '78 IC Muff, and I've also done one for all my transistor Muff variants. I might order a batch of each if the Dream Box one is successful.
If I move to batch production I'll be using PCBs for sure, but at the moment I'm still working on an Order List basis, and a lot of my stuff is non standard and modified.
Some places charge tooling fees, and others have long lead times on the production. So designing the PCB itself is only half the battle really. Tim and I have been chatting a lot about it.

sounds brilliant and exciting with potential to expand production a lot easier if necessary.

In general does anyone who has them find that Green Ringer's suffer from a little volume drop?

Not the way I build 'em - a little poke more than bypass if anything.

That's interesting, as the one in the pedal you built for me does once in a while, but I'm not really sure in what senario it does. I'm still moving/adding/removing pedals about on my board and not finalised anything yet.
Needs more testing

Hmm. If you wanted it tweaked to definitely give it a punt with a resistor swap or an external boost stage I could do that for yuo no worries. But it is going to thin out your sound depending on what you're playing (pickup, guitar, volume/tone controls)

It's fine Mike, it’s just something that’s been bugging me recently so thought I’d ask seeing as you have just built a Green Ringer.
Majority of the time it's ok but just once in a while when stomping on the GR switch volume drops. Like I said it's probably more to do with something I'm doing or something in the chain that is interfering. Once I've worked out what it is I'll stop doing it or remove it.
TBH you can't really predict what this pedal will do, everytime it's stepped on it does something different

haha it's the Crowley Fuzz. It's completely batshit.

You'll get Dream Box RSI soon

At MadeByMike HQ we now have PCBs!
Erm.. and an ink stamp?

PRO SETUP.
Selling well, then, these Dream Boxes?

Yup, they seem to be, which is nice. They're a bunch of work but I'm really proud of it as it's something I can claim design rights to more than anything I've done in the past, since my Dist2 is a complete re-engineering of the original, not just a straight warts and all clone.

Le wow. Not sure if I knew you had PCBs coming.
