Colorsound Jumbo Tonebender Clone

I have had a PCB by 1776Effects called Sucker Punch kicking around the bench for a few months. I was between builds and decided to populate it and see how it sounds. I was really blown away by its sound. With some searching around I found that the Jumbo Tonebender is based on the Big Muff Pi but with 3 transistors and not the 4 that the Big Muff has. It definitely has it’s own sound and at low-gain settings it sounds great as it has a really nice “stoner rock / psychedelic rock” sound.

I etched a enclosure and shot it with some purple metallic paint.

Not to happy with the way the 3PDT switch daughter board came out. My soldering looks terrible on it. I was out of my fluxed larger gauge soldier and I had to be careful not to melt the switch when soldiering the PCB to the switch. I may redo it in time.
