they look snazzy mike, how do they sound? are you happy with them and does it cut down on production time significantly?

These are my first ones. I've been chatting to other Tim about this and he gave me some hints. I've designed them for the Dream Box, '78 IC Muff and a Green Muff/Ram's Head Muff version also and had these manufactured for test.
I'm going to hopefully get a batch of each of these made up but getting a test batch made involves a degree of risk (and cost).
Chris, they sound the same (I saw you ask Tim this question too), a PCB is just another way of connecting components - there is no sound change. They do increase production time significantly and completely eliminate any chance of error basically.

Wooo! That board looks very nice indeed.
You went with BatchPCB yep? Did they send you extras or the exact number you ordered? I agree prototyping with them is a bit daunting. At £50 for ten boards (or more if they're bigguns) not to mention waiting a month to get them back, it's nice when everything works out okay.

Yup, I ordered 4 and got 8 which was nice. The price was scary to pay with no guarantee of success but I'm glad I did.
I'm going to probably rejig it a bit to make better use of the space in the case befroe I get a large batch but knowing the schematic capture is golden I can then rely on DRC to hold me through

nice one mike, I asked about the sound due to all the bollocks out their about wiring and other mojo that happens with pedals.

can't wait to see build pictures of the MBM Rabid Rat Mike is building for me
(aka a RAT clone with the Ruetz mod on a toggle)
spoil for decal design.. i'm hoping for a white enclosure.

just beautiful
add a build of one of those to go with the RAT, with that graphic if that is okay.
i've decided to love fuzz pedals again
