Got this put together when I got home from work tonight. This is in my top 10 of pedals that I simply love to play. Smother the SuperFuzz in super wet reverb and you have a basis of every great shoegaze song.. for the most part lol. This is a simple etch and I took the idea from Hexjibber to make the enclosure look like the original pedal. The color did not come out exactly like it wanted since it looks more red than burnt orange but I still love it. Nucleon did a great job on this layout and I am super happy to have jumped on it.
This will replace this one.

Up the skirt - Still failing at the soldier joints on the 3PDT board. I need to rework the pads on my etch I think.

:o It's builds like this that make me want to learn how to etch! Really amazing looking enclosure and wiring.
At first I looked at the box and was like - ooh! I like it!
Then I scrolled down and saw the red... Jaw, meet floor.

And when it got to the floor, dat carpet!!!
Love this pedal! I always wanted a superfuzz. You inspired me to start one soon.
This pedal is a total class act.
Flawless victory. :o
where did you get this pcb? what's nucleon?
Ok, that's it, officially my favorite builder of 2014 so far, you have been subscribed to my vote in the competition [whenever it starts]. Really man, such smashing work, and I am neglecting the fact that I LOVE superfuzz, really, that's a thing of beauty, I HAVE to go into etching, damnit man, damnit that thing is combo 76% good! [continuing the Mortal combat references]
Cody - that is out of control. Fantastic looking build.
Awesome!
Wow!!! That is the an amazing job on the enclosure.
How did you do the graphic? Simply ferrocloride? And the red color? Paint or powder coat?
Very very coooooool!
That is slick!! Which transistors did you end up going with?
That's one the best finishes I've ever seen. And I've seen a lot.
Really impressive build, and a great effect!
Yeah, this technique you've got going with the etching and paint is producing some startling results. I've really got to try a Superfuzz sometime this year just to see what subtle differences there are with the Standard Fuzz.
Okay, so this is how much I geek out on knob choice and how it goes with other aesthetic considerations, like the color of LED bezel and that kind of thing. I'm thinking these knobs from SB would look even cooler because the silver center would match the shiny, etched letters (I think the white you chose looks great, so it's the white I've got in mind here):

I really like my Standard with my EQD Disaster Transport, so I totally hear you on the reverb/shoegaze thing.
Thanks everyone for your kind words. Its been a really productive week for me and I hope it continues through the weekend. The wife has a cold so that mean we will not be going out at all and she will be abusing NyQuil for sure. So that means more bench time for me.

If you look at my BB Ahoy build I explain my process pretty quickly.. I am working on a tutorial for my blog this weekend.

In the Buy/Sell/Trade section there is a member selling them along with some other great layouts.

Thanks for the knob suggestion, I will definitely pick some up.
Cody, Super job on that, wouldn't change a thing! Looks as if there're clouds being reflected in the etched lettering (i assume it was shot inside), very cool!

Wow! The first build report where someone other than myself has used my PCB design. Actually an emotional moment. And what a stunning looking pedal! And I also thought: cool etch and then scrolled down. Wow, awesome.
Very glad you like the PCB. It's quite a lot of parts but it has a nice flow to it when building IMO. Thanks so much for the kind words. Maybe i should change my user name ::)
Please post your tutorial here so that I can notice it, I am really interested in your process, what a magnificent lookign pedal
Love it!
Wow this looks excellent man! The paint really makes it pop out, great work! :)
That. That is amazing! I'm speechless!

Wow looks great! Is this a 1590B or 125B?

Thanks, its a 1590B.

Damn!!! :o
Stunning!
That's an amazing looking etch, Cody! Truly a work of art :P
I'm borrowing a Shin-ei Companion Fuzz for a few days which has six 2SC828 inside (according to the battery plate). I've fallen in love with its gated fuzz sound - sure will be hard to return the pedal. Perhaps this isn't the place to ask, but does the Nucleon PCB nail that sound? Any other recommendations?

Thanks for the heads up! The Pork Rind looks tempting with the additional starve and tone controls, plus Keefe is a great guy
Nice etch and a great finish!
Beautiful. Love the entire look of this. Is the super fuzz board still available anywhere?
Late response, but: I can always order some new ones :)
Cool, count me in if you do.
Know it's an older post, but I'd love to try one of those Super Fuzz boards, Rockhorst. Count me in if you ever order more.
