I had one of Rej's Chimaera boards and I really liked it. Unfortunately it's been discontinued for one of those board mounted pots pcb monstrosity with mods and stuff. But occasionally a Chimaera board pops up during a pcb sale.

+1 on the Aion PCB.  My Aion Klon(e) is a mainstay of my live pedalboard.   I use the Klon as a preamp/buffer (first in my chain) and it sounds great and make all of my other pedals sound great.

And get some of his other PCBs while your at it - they're all very well made and well documented.

Madbean sun king or kingslayer.

The sun King is supposed to be an authentic clone, whereas the kingslayer has some other mods. I personally like the kingslayer more.

off topic but , i would say avoid the"protaitone" kits found on ebay . yes they are really cheap but ... look into it before you hit buy now as the two i dealt with had a lot of errors , no documentation and a lot of other folks ran into many issues with this companys kits .

yes you can get them to work , but in my case they shipped wrong components , no instructions , some of the parts would not fit , the wiring diagram photo i found on ebay was wrong , so yes they are a great deal , can be made to work but be aware , there is no instructions and there will be errors , wrong stuff , cheap junk etc . although the chassis / paint job was very nice and once i figured it all out , it works well but i wasnt ready for all that and it really irked me how the seller kept stalling and treated me very rudely .

i expected to quickly assemble this when it ended up consuming a lot more frustrating time so the second kit is just sitting there till i can figure out all the errors and pull a proper bomb . number two was shipped with a whole different set of headaches .
