Yup, will have a Heliotropic PCB off you 🙂

 

Cheers

Cool, just realised i put the gain pots in the schematic backwards so they'll all work in the reverse... Oh well, this is my first PCB in about 5 years....

Will wiring the pots in reverse work to correct it? 
As you say, no biggie really.

Yeah just got 1 and 3 reversed on the sustain pot then c+p'd it for the other gain pots. Annoying but no way am I re-laying out the board... Yeah if you wanted to swap pins 1+3 that'd work, I've designed for the alpha right angle pots though so you'd have to snip and run wires. PCBs are ordered - got 10 for $3.20 on slow delivery with a first time order voucher - I do not understand how that's economically viable but I ain't complaining.

 

Edit - I was going to post the heliotropic schematic but I didn't realise fuzzrocious were still making them. Fuzzrocious are good eggs so I don't want to publicily post an in production pedal, anyone wants the schematic drop me a PM.

Put the pots on upside down?

I'll have to test it out when I get the boards, I suspect it may bring the knobs too low and interfere with footswitch, it's an 80mm X 60mm PCB for a 1590BB, but yeah definitely an option.

Ooo, how long will it take you to verify/build one?
