Almost to cool to step on.. I love that etch, it came out so clean. Plus, I just love the superfuzz and built my first one on a home etched U-Stomp board. Sounds awesomely like a wall of sound.

I think only the  moderators can move it. Anyway, what an etch!!!! Thats is perfect, I enjoyed your "How I etch" nice touch.
Great pedal, very impressed with your work on this.

Very nice! How's the quality of the Pedal Parts boards?

I once built a Superfuzz where I just barely reached unity gain. I then doubled the germanium diodes. This gave me some more volume and slightly less maximum fuzz, but this circuit has so much fuzz that it still had more than enough.

I've built a good number of pedals from Pedal Parts boards and I think they're great, they're a bit thinner than Madbean boards for example and the holes are smaller but this hasn't caused me any problems. They seem well laid out and he has a great selection on there, plus they sound good which the main thing.

Definitely above unity on this Super Fuzz, haven't tried it through my tube amp yet, only a crap little 5w practice amp but it's pretty ferocious! :)

Fantastic looking pedal. The etch is simple but looks perfect :)
I've got this board populated and it sounds loud and nasty. Needs an enclosure but no way will it look as good as this!
