I love the trippy box! Alcohol inks I suppose?

In the other thread you said you wanted more drive. More?! I understood it was already a beast!

This much like your contest entry looks FANTASTIC! How do you get that awesome finish. Kudos on the neat evro too, it's not an easy thing to do! Demo?...

The finish really is gorgeous and so deliciously purple. Thanks so much for making your vero layout of this available too. I really appreciate it.

Thanks for the kind words folks!

Yes, it's alcohol inks and letter stamps on the finish. I want something to fill the Tonebender type fuzz on my board, I like the superfuzz, but it's a bit of a mangler in some respects and I don't like muffs so trying this one. For me it needs just a bit more sustain, might be my build though.

Nice to have an octave fuzz that isn't too pingy, the second channel is a beefy fuzz-stortion. Well worth a go.

If it sounds as good as it looks it's a winner KC!  ;D I just love the nut and bolt ground - I've seen houses with weaker mains earthing.  ::)

Wow. I didn't even see that. Not a bad idea with those isolated jacks though. Good thinking.

Yeah, i don't like soldering to the back of pots or switches, so I now use a solder tag and a little nut and bolt. I get a small packet of them from Wilkinson's for 99p. They give a good solid ground connection and sort of go with my 'style'.

I'll see if i can do a clip sometime next week. as the octave switch turned out to be useful on the fly, I'll probably be changing the DPDT to a 3PDT so that I can have a bi colour LED to know which channel its on, if I've left enough room inside for it that is.
