Next thing is I think I will replace the sag pot for a 3 way switch with a few different resistors just to get a 9v 7v & 5v operation. I want to put this in a 1590B and would like to save some real-estate by eliminating a pot. Thoughts?

Fairfield Babershop OD build ver2
Here is my second build of this pedal. The first one was a vero layout I got from http://tagboardeffects.blogspot.com/ and I decided now that I am making PCBs and want to get as much practice as possible I decided to make a PCB from a trace I found online.

Re: Fairfield Babershop OD build ver2
find the settings you like and replace the pot with 1 or 2 resistors. a 2 wire pot only needs one resistor. you can solder it right to the board where the pot was.

Thanks for the comment eatyourguitar. thats exactly what I decided to do. I found a few sweet spots today that I like and I will put a SPDT on the back near the DV jack and I can switch between 9v 7.5v and 5.4v. I just got to box this thing up this week and mount it on my board. I have found a new love for this pedal.
