I haven't built a pedal since August and I think I've forgotten everything I knew. Most of the trouble I had with it was self inflicted. When I rocked it, I got no sound. I went around checking voltages, flipping the polarized caps that were supposed to be non-polarized caps, turning knobs etc. Voltages were all good and I got sound in bypass, but for some reason I was getting nothing with the circuit engaged-even with the audio probe there was no sound anywhere. I was just about to toss it in the box of fail when I got the idea to switch my input and output. Bingo! I'd plugged my input into the output and vice versa >:(
Then the graphics. I couldn't remember which paper I use for my toner transfers, and none of them seemed to work anymore. I ended up going with magazine paper, but the transfer still came out grungy. Still don't know what I was doing wrong.
I haven't played with it much yet, but so far I like it. I'll try to get a quick demo of it up later this week.

Sweet build.
Why is your photo host provider telling me that the content is X-rated?
I don't know? Could be a default. Sorry to let you down ;D I'll go check it out...
Love the name and the graphics! LED placement is awesome.

Clearly it has something to do with the LED placement.

Fleshlight? ;D
We all love a well placed LED! ::)
I know what it is to stop building for a while..... almost a year clean. And every time I see my soldering iron I feel deeply sad...
I'll have to assume I'm not finishing my thesis before easter and rock some of my pcbs.... :)
That said. This one came awesome. It is nice to revive some newby moments once in a while, it happens to me every time I have to do some programming work again in a platform I haven't touched for some time.
great build man, looks fantastic :)
Haha. That's great! The name and LED is hilarious. Nice looking build.
I dunno, a grungy look works for the theme you used :)
Pretty sweet work!
Great theme, great build.
Your PCB building skills are still primo! I've made that input/output mistake several times. It's tricky when the whole damn thing is flipped upside down.
Steve.
Dat Led! Clever.
Thanks for the encouragement guys :) On the upside I've been playing my guitar a lot more and actually
using the pedals I've built. My band played a gig recently and I used
all DIY stuff-my amp, pedals, guitar-and got compliments on the guitar sound, so that feels pretty good.

LOL ;D
Hah, that's a sweet build. Love the led placement and the graphics!
very nice build indeed :)
