The last lot of boards I had made were for a modification to my pinball machine. Fast and super good quality.

Good Lord, what a brilliant bit of technical know-how and explanation Laurie, nice! However a little voice tells me I need to know two things...does it sound epic and what colour will it be in!

Colour? It's an overdrive, so I was thinking yellow, of course

This is the prototype on the bench. It has been running with overvoltage supply and super hot input for 2 weeks continuously now. All is well, Sounds exactly the same as when it was turned on.
