First build - MOSFET clean boost

[effectsbay]

Hello All

Lastnight, I was psyched to work on the my prototype pedal board, breadboarded the MOSFET circuit, soldered the circuit to a veroboard, re-tested the circuit on the prototype board, drilled the enclosure, and hooked everything up. A few issues during all the steps, but overall, it went pretty fast and easy. I have to say this forum is awesome, and I had to refer to it often at different stages of the build.

Here are some pics!

Thanks everyone. Now, next step will be to mod this. Thinking about toggle to manage the vbias resistors. Possibly bass cut and high cut pots too. Not sure.

Thanks!

Hmm... I just noticed something, that doesn't seem right. If I remove the input jack and 'engage' the pedal's LED light is dimly lit, I mean barely on, but on. I'm wondering if this could be a leakage from one of the caps? I was assuming that the pedal without the input jack would draw 0 current from the 9v, since the ground is broken on the sleeve to battery negative?

Thanks!
