Brown Sound in a Box 2
Here is my build of the famous Brown Sound in a Box 2 circuit designed by Ed Guidry. I used the PCB layout by GaussMarkov (found here) to etch the board.
Basically, this is supposed to be the cranked non-master volume Marshall sound most closely associated with the tone of early Van Halen.

Here is a shot of the parts in a bin waiting to be soldered to the PCB (click for big pic):
And here is the board fully populated with parts. I used sockets for the JFETs (which are not shown here, yet) so I can swap them out to get the right gain:
And here are some completed pics:
