I thought I would share my new rehouse of the Dano Cool Cat Drive CO-1 and Cool Cat Transparent Overdrive CTO-1 circuits. I added a 4pdt to toggle the order of the effects, and an extra bi-color LED that displays which order is functioning. The difference is surprisingly dramatic, yielding a classic gravelly tone when going CO-1>CTO-1 and a more modern sizzly result when going CTO-1>CO-1.
When powered up, the status LED on the CTO-1 won't turn off when the effect is disengaged. I don't know whats causing it (see closeup), I imagine its something silly I messed up. The other one works fine. As soon as I can figure that out, I can solder in the LEDs for good and mount it on my board!
This is only my 2nd project, so please excuse the wire mess. Any tips you have for me are welcome.

Enjoy!
