I would try and shorten wires next time. It helps with noise issues.
Oh I’m not done with this one yet! I’ll optimise everything and add some useful mods to it. It has already replaced a Keeley comp+ as it is now. Not saying that the Keeley is bad (it’s great), but this is the sound I’ve been chasing for ages. Cleans/edge of breakup sound great.
As advised in a separate thread, I've made my own Orange Squeezer clone using a Fuzzdog kit. It's been my first ever build, and I've enjoyed every minute of it, not least because my 11 year old daughter has helped me identify the resistors and measure them, and... she also soldered the 3PDT to the daughterboard! She was adamant that she had accumulated enough practice at her 'design & technology' lessons at school, and begged me to let her do it. So I did. I will admit that I suffered a little bit when she was doing the first two pins, but it was 'ok' in the end. What a fantastic memento of a pedal. I don't think I'll be selling this. Plus it makes my strat+Marshall sing.
The main PCB:
The assembled box:
And the closed box:
Loved it. I might make more things in the near future.

My first build was an OS. Wasn't as tidy as that! Although I didn’t have any help It's a good pedal I use mine all the time. It can be very subtle though, took me a while to figure if it was actually working!
It's good in front of dirt pedals to push them a bit harder for a lead sound. Amongst many other things. Very simple circuit but just right.

Haha. I find the compression is much more noticeable with humbuckers than with single coils. With single coils you get that subtle tone enhancement, whereas with humbuckers the increased sustain is great and very welcome.
I also seem to be getting a slight bit of grit when I crank the compressor - I find it pleasing.
