After having to sub many parts that i didnt have i got it working after the 3rd try. It seems i had to move the 2n5457 from q4 to q2. I had a mpf102 at q2. I was only getting original amp sound until i changed the 2 around. Very nice sound when I did get it. Seems as though it needs to speed up a little but if it stayed the same that would be fine too. I socketed most all the trannys and the .47's (which were actually 2 .22 soldered in parellel in both places). I used tantalums in place for the 1uf's. That saved me a lot of room! The metal films i looked at at thr rat shack were absolutly huge!! I could have used my 1 uf np caps and might if i have a problm later on or even 1uf electros as in the runoffgroove layout and might in the future. All kool now though. I was running short on the correct resistors as well as most of them were added togather in series to acheive a near close value needed. I wanted this soon! And so now here it is! Definetly a pedal worth making and an easy build as well..Hmm whats next?

#3 was the charm.
 Then I got #2 going just as good...well there's 2.2uf's where the  1uf's called out in the schematic, and it goes even slower !!!
 I like the boost of it too !!! Nice Boost.
