The latest 3 from this addict! I quite like them all and each were relatively easy builds. The Fuzz Factory did take some fiddling before I got it under control and the SlapChop needs to have the gain cranked (or pushed w/ a booster) for the parametric eq/cocked-wah to sound blissful.
I think the only mod was subbing the FF's STAB pot with a 5KC. I may do the same with the SlapChop's Bandwidth pot as the part I like is mostly bunched up at the end of the 5KB pot's rotation.

Digging the clean and simple layouts (inside and out). Nice!
All look great! Especially like the Neutrino.
Thanks, guys. Up next is a mn3005 aquaboy + (the) aristocrat(s)! And then I'm going to work on my perpetual sunburn...
Word of caution on the MN3005 Aquaboy. I tried to build that version and could not get it to work. I ended up building the V3205 version.
Those are some great-looking builds, man. And let me say, absolute genius mounting the Zombii's PCB with Velcro. I don't think I ever would have thought of that. That's just brilliant! Simple and effective!
Hey, mjcyates: what kind of issues did you have w/ the mn3005?
pauloman80: I usually just use 22 gauge, solid copper wire to 'hold' pcbs + elec. tape to insulate vs. accidental shorts but it wasn't working with the zombii board. Velcro to the rescue! Also used this trick for a kokbox build I did as I prefer top mounted power + I/O jacks over the traditional zvex layout.
QuoteHey, mjcyates: what kind of issues did you have w/ the mn3005?
I could never get a delay signal out of it. The guitar signal passed through the circuit but there was no delay. My brother-in-law was helping me with this one. He has a nice scope and we could see the signal going into the mn3005 chip but no delay coming out of it. We couldn't get it figured out so I just went the V3205 route and had no problems with it.
