■. I sensed that I had never truly met my #Twinflame before or ever. As if I didn't have one, it made me sad. JOHN was so Close, but it didn't work like the Chaser/Runner at all.

"I just don't think I've got a Twin™"

●. Jungkook is nothing like JOHN, but for some reason it's Deep like that.. yet it's entirely Different.

●. I just Decided, he's a #SUBSTITUTE for my eventual real Twinflame or Close Soulmate. But Eunwow™ never came through with it

🏷. He was just my PerfectType for The Manifest

So after figuring out which bits to remove, I set about building it. I first tried laying it out on a single one of my custom #protoboards I posted about before. It gets very dense, and would require cutting / splitting a whole lot more of the 6-hole #pad #strips than I really wanted to do. So I built it on two boards, using the same modular connection between them that I use for the rest of my effects boards.

Even the original Boss pedal used 2 separate boards, so I don't feel too badly about it.

Anyway... it took a while to fiddle with the layouts to get something I like, then document my parts placement, remove all the parts and start re-populating and #soldering them into place. But I got that done this evening.

I did a little meter #probing of the results to find any obvious missing connections or such, and fixed a couple. Then I plugged in my guitar, and ...

It #worked, perfectly, the first time. I believe that's the first time any of my effects have not required any #debugging at all. I'm #chuffed .

And it sounds *fantastic*.

The originally-called-for #transistors and #diodes are mostly #obsolete and hard to find. I dug through datasheets to find ones I thought would (a) be acceptable substitutes, and (b) I already had in my parts bins. Frankly, given the nature of the effect, I doubt the selections are too critical, but I'll include what I used for completeness, in case anyone else wants to make one of these.
