Another product of surfing the Group Buy board - Black Horse's Meerkat Fuzz. Straight up build in another Mammoth pre-finished box with Small Bear knobs - these are becoming my favorites. This box is the third I've tried using a countersink to give the LED a recessed bezel look - this one is just about right.

Diggin' it! Green is my favorite color. Nicely executed!
Just saw this - looks great! What do you think of the circuit. I sold my build, but I miss it and am thinking of putting together another one. The Roger Mayer stuff is simple, but underrated in my opinion.
Very tidy, love the colour too :)
Nice build. That color always seems to work. :D

It was an easy build. The sound is darker and smoother than my more transistor heavy fuzzes and way more controllable compared to my Fuzz Faces and Burns Buzz-a-round clone. It won't displace my Guitar PCB DSOTM but it has its own special nitch.

I've had Mayer's Mongoose for about nine years now. Still love it, although I don't use it as much as I should since so many other fuzzes make their way into and out of my life. But I don't think I can go without having a purple spaceship in my life either! :) I'm glad to see there are DIY versions of some of these great circuits. I understand he based this on the vintage Rat, but it's definitely a cut above sound-wise. Anyway, cool-looking build!
Dem knobs!!!
