Just some comments

First of all, my order from Aron came super quick: Tuesday --> Friday.   Aron No Ka 'Oi!

The parts had to wait until I rebuilt the Fuzz Face.

The second try did the trick. I don't know what the problem was with the first. I used the same caps and some of the same resistors. the only difference is that I put the parts onto strip board and eliminated one suspect carbon resistor. I also just hooked the thing up to some jacks, instead of connecting it to the stomp switch.
I used Dragonfly's "super small" layout and Jack Orman's schematic - Thanks

The layout gallery is sweet. It even helped me identify an error (?) on the Electra schematic I was going to use. (4.7k+ / 47k?)
Thanks Justin Philpot http://www.j.philpott.com/effectronics/for the schematic; thanks Andrew C. for the layout.

The Electra distorton is sweet. I used the germanium diode with the Honolulu mojo alongside the Shack's Si for the suggested asymmetry. Very cool indeed. I had been wondering what effects like to be boosted; now I know one.  When boosted this baby goes from cool to baaaaaaaaaaaaad.

welcome to the addiction ....its always nice to start out and have your projects work !


sometimes i feel like a drug dealer....  :o  ...but then i realize that the layouts are actually a "good" thing.... (at least thats what i tell myself...)
