Haha, I bet you at least had a ruler. This is really cool though. It looks like fun.

Damn legit!
What power amp did you plug the pre into? I can hear that Mark saturation... sounds like Orion haha.
How much did it cost you btw, and how long did it take?

Can you share your cart dude? Sounds excellent, and I love that you used a sharpie to draw your PCB...I've never seen anyone do that before, that's genius
