Couple fuzzes and a Tesseract distorted reverb

Haven't built a bunch this year so far; work was pretty intense this school year. I managed to actually box up a few builds. First up is the SNAFUzz which is essentially a Clusterfuzz. I built this up with intentions to fiddle around with values and transistors, but it rocks so well the way it is right now. I applied a green spray paint and gently sprayed gold over it for neat effect. Due to a miscalculation, I had to mangle the rotary switch so I could plug into this.
I also built a GuitarPCB Big Muff with violet ram's head specs and added ALL the mods: mid contour, diode selector, HPF, LPF, Tonebender diode cut, and tone control cut.
Lastly, I had my Tesseract Reverb boxed up in a plain enclosure and decided to spruce it up. I used a mix of light blue, purple, and gold spray paint for a celestial cotton candy look that is much more vibrant in person. I drilled the wrong side for my LED, so I added another so I know when it is powered and when it is activated.

We're missing a gutshot (is it on vero?)! :)

The reverb looks really cool and I really like the colors on the all-options-big muff!!

Digging the gold over green!

I've begun planning my own Tesseract build, and looking at your gutshot is making me nervous about trying to cram it in a 1590BB. Did you use a taller version of the enclosure, or the standard BB?

Cool looking builds.

Also, I like that you photograph your builds with your textbooks. :P

chris - is the clusterfuzz clone on vero or did you do an etch?

Very nice!  I've just started on my Tesseract.  I like it when I have a build
to compare with.

Those came out awesome. That BMP is such a huge pedal in such a tight package. Perfectly executed.

I actually created a PCB for it. I didn't want to really widely advertise it (I don't have any extras).

I was pretty jazzed about the color schemes on these pedals too. Fun with spray paint!

I used the standard BB. If you are precise with your drilling measurements, it will fit fine. I had to bend one of the lugs of my output jack so it wouldn't bump into the PCB. I don't have a drill template, but I got mine in using a ruler, math, and brute force.

Thanks. I wasn't sure if I needed all those options, but I... hahaha, who am I kidding? Everybody knows I am addicted to switches and knobs! Even with all the options, I can't find a bad sound with this thing. I am not always a fan of GuitarPCB layouts, but this board gave me the space to fit all those switches.
