Had this little kit lying around for some time & finally decided to torture my vision with this tiny build.  It sounds killer - even has the scratchy pot effect when adjusting the boost level.  Cheers

Nice work!  And a great name, given the size.

that looks fantastic!

and sorry for this, but it has been buggering me for a while now: I have no clue about what "SHO" is supposed to mean and google turned out pretty much blank on that topic. Enlighten me please?

Looks great!  How'd you do the graphics and clear coat?

This ... this may be one of the world's most appropriate typos given what SHO stands for. (I know you're from Austria, so I included a link.)

oops. obviously I meant to say "bugging" :)

Thanks folks. @wgc, I printed the graphics on waterslide decal stock with an inkjet. I cleared it using a rattle can in the backyard.

Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

I too am having the scratchy pot issue with this build. Can't figure it out....

If it's the standard SHO build it's suppose to have a scratchy gain pot.

@davent is correct... Scratchy is supposed to happen

davent

And Eddiebeer, very nice build! Perfect circuit for an 'a' box.

Have seen a schematic for someone's modded version of the SHO that claims to eliminate the scratchy pot but haven't built or read any reports on it.

Thanks davent. It almost made me blind trying to stuff everything
