Finished boxing up the Darkadiator last night. Took me awhile to get it working in the box because of some trouble with a rough solder joint, but nothing too tedious.
It definitely needs a boost of some kind if you're playing with single coils, otherwise there's zero sustain (at least with my set up). At the minute I'm trying to get enough boost that there's great fuzz/sustain while simultaneously avoiding introducing too much hum. Tbh I don't think I'll manage it with the guitar I have, but I'll try it out at my uncle's next week as he has a bunch of guitars so I can see if humbuckers/active pickups make much difference.
