Just finished my Low Rider and, having been uninspired by any graphics for "Low Rider", I decided to go with alcohol inks and call it The Diapason. It was my first time using alcohol inks and i think it looks good. Still deciding on what knobs to use. I tried the high octave boost mod but it got TOO fuzzy so I switched it to stock. This pedal is really about the low octaves anyway.

Looks really cool! Still needing to box mine. I haven't settled on a color or knobs exactly.
I was able to get a good mid-point between too aggressive and too buried on the upper octave by using 1n/10n rather than the stock 10n/33n combination or the modded 1n only setup. It could be worth trying. Then again, I agree it's all about the lower octaves. In front of a fuzz it sounds gargantuan.
Nice ink finish, looks really cool.

I did this same thing and am pretty happy with it.
I think I also subbed in some 1N34As as noted in the mods section of the build docs.
Sounds pretty righteous.
Good looking build, man.
I like the blue PCB / green cap looks. Too bad you dont see it from the outside :-)

I did this too--forgot to mention it. das234, I think it looks like you used 1n34a for D1 and D2 also. If you socketed the caps in question you could give it a try!
Yeah, I think I did that too. Forgot about that. It's got a nice sound now when you blend the octaves together. And you're right, it rocks with the Fozzaround!
