Hi guys,

when the Clusterfuzz was traced a while back, I had to do a pcb layout for it. I altered it only a little: power section was a bit altered, used a ON-OFF-ON switch for 3 clipping options (any diodes, FET and none) and put the filter switch internal on a DIP. Since the guys from function f(x) were very helpful in verifying the schematic, I hope it's cool to post my build. I play less frequently these days and only play at home, so there's no commercial application of this clone, otherwise I might have gone for the Clusterfuzz Junior (which btw. came out after I finished my design. sure you didn't copy my layout? ;) ) I won't share the layout out of respect for the function crew, although Keefe got the extra one in a trade.

Also in there is the first batch of my optical bypass board. The 1776 board is too big for my taste and the Lumen is out of stock since forever... I managed to flip the connector pads to the main pcb , so there's already a 2.0 design with that corrected as well as discrete CLRs for the optofet-LED and the indicator LED.

Enclosure is reverse etched, spray painted and topped off with epoxy as described in my tutorial. Had to repaint as I wasn't content with revealing the etch and screwed up. It's not perfect, but good enough. Next one will hopefully be done with my laser engraver 8)











It's obviously missing one knob...

That's awesome Felix I love the fade in the paint job and the etch looks really cool.

Oh... Now I see what you were talking about!  I was way too busy drooling over the rest of it before.  ;)

Seriously, though, very nice looking build.

That is very cool looking, Felix. And, no - we did not use your layout!

That's awesome! Looks amazing.

But how does it sound?
