yeah, it was a very tight fit (one of the tightest ones that I've built to date). since the board was so wide, I had to route the wiring at the top and bottom of the board as opposed to around the sides like I always do. I use 26 gauge belden Teflon coated silver multistrand wire and it's by far my favorite. and yeah, even though I always use the shortest length electros that I can find, I still had to shorten the lugs on the toggles so they'd fit under the board without any components contacting the back cover.
I did a couple of mods to slightly open up the circuit's top end, and even though I absolutely love the pedal, i'd never build another one...it was that hard to get everything to fit!
