Finally got around to boxing this one up.  Great sounding pedal.  Wish I could coax a little more "lushness" out of it...maybe change the LDRs down the line or try 18V adapter...but it works great.  Copious amounts of ribbon cable, 1uF caps, and transistors are essential to this build.   ;D 

Shooting for a 1960's psychedelic poster look with a little homage to Jimi at the top.  Powdercoated myself in Neon green with a self-adhesive inkjet white decal on top.  A little envirotex, the biggest ass knob I have ever used, and call it a day.

I bow before your knob.. I LOVE huge knobs. (Its ok to say that here in the states but I am sure I will get a comment from Juansolo or AlanP for that one) lol

Awesome build. I have yet to own or play a Univibe. Am I missing out?

You can never miss with jimi involved, but it looks pretty awesome regardless!

Rully, that is a SERIOUSLY nice vibe!

That's fantastic Rully! I think you nailed the look. This makes me want to build one.

Now that's just awesome. That's one of those when someone sees your board, it's the first they point at and say, "whoa, what's that?"

This makes me giggle. Love the colour scheme. I feel I should try this envirotex stuff,I like the shine and slight curve it seems to give.

Fantastic graphic!  Looks like a poster for JH playing at the Fillmore.

I really like that '60s concert poster look! I could see using that on a fuzz sometime as well.

Great job Ben!

Not sure but my Harbinger is very lush and deep sounding, at least I think so  :-\

Surely, you are begging for "big knob" gags! Well, not from me. I just love the retro vibe. Nice one!
