Well worth the effort. Its very versatile. I can use it with amp that’s already cranked to give it some extra love, or as a basic preamp that other pedals can hit and push further into overdrive. I used a 79 hFE 2N404 PNP Germanium transistor for Q2 instead of a OC71.

Great board, easy to build and some amazing sounds.
The footswitch wiring is straightforward, even if you’ve only ever built pedals using 3pdt pcb’s.
One improvement I’d suggest is to show the orientation of the transformer on the PCB. The TY141P has a black dot to indicate pin 1, but there’s no marking on the PCB. I had to check the schematic to be sure (bottom left hole on the screen printed side, with the transformer on the left).

This is my second review for this pcb. I bought three and have so far built two using different Ge transistors; the first with an OC71, the second with an AC128.
This is obviously subjective, but with either transistor, the Duocast PCB forms the foundation of probably the best pedal I’ve ever played through, certainly the best I’ve ever built.
In 24v (or is it 27??) mode it is LOUD and impecably defined. There is no mushy-foggy-fuzz here. Putting a mildly dirty boost in front of it, and a little reverb and BBD delay after rook me to heaven.
I absolutely love this build. I sold the first two but I was ok with that, as I’d bought enough boards, components and 1590BBS enclosures to build three.
I will be keeping hold of the third one. They are shockingly good.
