I used traditional "Orange Amp" style icons for controls rather than labels. So I'll include this printed legend sheet with the pedal.

:lol: Change of plans..

This never happened before, but after allowing the orange paint to cure for 24 hours, I applied one coat of clear coat.

90 seconds later a chemical reaction occurred, and the orange paint wrinkled up and peeled off - as if I has used paint remover. :x

I just looked at the 3 transistors I ordered from MojoTone.com for this project.

They shipped me the wrong parts. Was supposed to be PF5102. I got three 2N5484's instead. :roll:

MojoTone said they'd re-ship the correct transistors Tuesday morning.
