It's obvious to me that a lot of thought went into the PCB and pedal layout design. The amount of wiring required vs. the "old" BYOC designs is much reduced. With the exception of the battery adapter leads, I don't think there will be a single run of wire more than 1.5" long, with most well under an inch. Both control pots are of the "PC mount" type with legs that solder directly into eyelets on the board, as does the SPDT toggle that switches between two tone modes. Makes for a clean and easy build. :

Really haven't given it any thought yet, since the main "mission" on this build is to provide feedback to Keith on how well the build goes and make sure everything works properly and sounds as it should. One interesting element of this build, my first beta kit: no instructions and no diagrams to refer to, though the component placement/values are all nicely silk-screened on the board. Keith did post some pics of his own build in the Moderator's forum on the BYOC forum site, which I needed to refer to on a couple of details. But I'm quite amazed by how easy this is to build just based on prior experience with his pedal kits, even with the substantial layout changes made on this one. My old brain must actually be absorbing some of this stuff--wonder of wonders!

Suppose I should start brainstorming a bit about the enclosure finishing, though, huh? The working name of this new BYOC model is the "Leeds Fuzz", so named because of Pete Townshend's use of the Univox Super Fuzz on the famous Live at Leeds album. Maybe I can come up with something out of that....
