Serendipity- MB Zen work a like . I added a clipping mod. Really like these for how articulate they are. I also used Vishay metal films' and it is pretty much dead quiet . Not sure if it made the difference.

Very nice work man. I like how you got that decal melted right on the edge. I always shoot for that if I can. Great looking wiring job.

What is that LED being held down with?

it's held in by a wooozie. You know, navel lint. No really I just drill it for a tight fit and then use the wires.

That's really nice. All of it.
I really like creative/fun LED placement, too.

"How the heck does a 400 pound man have the gall to tell you not to indulge yourself?"

Nice pedal!! I really like the two different colors!

A really tidy finish - I like the handwritten/hand drawn look. What clipping options did you use? I have a Musikding Zen with standard clipping that sounds great (and quiet) but I've also got a GuitarPCB Zenith in the pipeline so I'm looking for ideas. I like mine so much that I don't want to stop using it long enough to paint it! It's good to know that the MB version sounds good as well.

Thanks all.
I've done a few versions and I really like this one. The toggle has an additional BAT 41(top) and a germ. I am going to try to replace the germ with an something else.

The Zenith layout adds a LED on one side. I'm thinking of trying a switch with LED or diode. The Musikding has 2x BAT41 one side and 1N4148 on the other, which may be like the original. Works for me but I will experiment with the new one.

MB circuit has 3 BAT 41's. I built mine with 2 and one on the toggle as mentioned. I'll give the 4148 or LED a try as well in place of the germ diode.

I just checked the Musikding is 3 BAT41s in the parts list and the reality - only the schematic has a 4148, so it looks like an error. So it's the same as the MB. It will be interesting to see if a 4148 sounds different, especially as the GuitarPCB layout has them. I like the idea of BAT41s and something else on a toggle - the LED looks promising.
