First DIY build done!

[scotsman]

Greetings all - just wanted to "show off" my first DIY build. GGG's Brown Sound In A Box.  All parts are "stock" from Mouser via the GGG site.  Did the board myself - mmm, Ferric Chloride fun stuff!  Tried photo paper for the pcb - not good results as the toner just didn't stick.. Got some PNP blue - and will never use anything else again.  Other then 2 small errors on my part (miswired tone pot and an incorrect resistor value) which were swiftly corrected - the pedal "fired right up."  What a beast - this is a gain machine!  Built a matching pair - 2nd one will be done sometime after this weekend.

That's your first build?  Man, that makes me look like a total beginner again...LOL.  I have never been able to get an enclosure to look that good.  The wiring is very neat as well.  Nice work.
