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

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.

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.

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