Awesome!!

I also love that this thread got to 5 pages before you even started the build

Yep, I'm itching to get started right now haha. Initial impressions are that the quality seems to be pretty good.

Haha I noticed the same thing.

Yeah, the layout seems sensible and the screenprinted component labels really help reduce errors. The tinned-through holes can make desoldering components tedious though, so here's hoping you don't need to do that.

Board populated. Just need to solder switch, pots, led and wires then I can test.

Looks good. I always find the off-board wiring the least exciting part of a build. Do you have a mini-board for the footswitch, or will you be direct wiring it?

Also I like the third hand. A lot of mine is broken, but it's amazing what I can do with just one clip. I also like the insulation on yours. I have some heatshrink tubing that I could use on my clip.

Be sure to save some of the longer lead off-cuts. You will need them for making links if you do any stripboard builds.

Wiring direct but I have the wiring diagram so shouldn't be too difficult. Haha it's just electrical tape because I had nothing else. Heatshrink would be good.

I'm on the fence about soldering the pots and switch on before the enclosure gets here on this one. On the Gale I had 3 pots and if the holes are slightly out when I drill there is enough flexibility in the pot legs to get the pots to line up with the holes. But on this one if it didn't line up properly I'd have to desolder and resolder because there is no flexibility with the switch. But without those components attached I can't test it out haha. First world dilemma.

You can see in my Phase 45 thread I made a enclosure jig out of thin MDF. I drilled holes using the enclosure template. It helps hold things steady but also lets me test the template itself - are the pots close but not too close etc.
