Haven't built anything, let alone posted a build report in ages.. Hope to change that soon and dedicate more time to building. This is a SS/BS Mini work a like on a layout made by effectslayouts. I have wanted one of these for awhile but never pulled the trigger so when David put up a layout for it I jumped on it. It can go from sounds of a nice tube like OD to a failing tube OD to straight up fuzz. The Bias knob can help get it to tight sounding to a velcro/spuddering sound.

I did a reverse etch from some stock art and added some noise to the etch mast to give it a bit of a grungy look to match the sound of the pedal. lol
I'm not a 100% happy with the knobs and might change them out in the future but for now this is on my board and rocking.

KILLER ETCH. Seriously. I love patterns, and I find that doing a reverse etch really makes them pop.
Cody, again you set the bar for perfection! This looks KILLER! Great job!

Still king of the reverse etch. Beautiful job on the interior too. I think the knobs work great on there by the way.
Man I wish I could etch. That looks just killer.
I'll echo everyone's comments on that etch. That green is a great hue.
I think the knobs are perfect for this build! Beautiful work!
WOW! That's awesome!
This one is a beauty! Still thinking about hitting Keefe up for an etch of this layout. Could I ask where you sourced those trimmers? Am I right that they're the multi-turn type?
+1 to everything everyone else has said. Love that one.
Thanks everyone for the nice comments, It feels good to get to building again.

You should, its a great sounding build for sure and Storyboardist did a great job on the layout. I think I got the trimmers from Tayda:

but sometimes I get the 3296W trimmers from Mouser also.
Thanks a lot guys for the encouragement. I have a few others I finished up and need to post this weekend. I also need to figure out a build for the 2016 contest.
Happy building!
Cody
Genius, inside and out.
You really have a good eye for design - graphics again clean, classy and fun.
I built a Mini using the vero layout at Tagboards but it looks a hideous mess in comparison to this. Great work, Cody!
Awesome build and awesome carpet as per usual dude!

Thanks guys, means a lot. "Team Madbean" runs strong!

This is just super. That sounds like a very interesting circuit. BTW, what font is the Dirty Drive? I like it!
Looks awesome Cody! I love the color choice and the wiring is perfect. Your build reports have been missed around these parts.
