Hello,
I've finally put together all parts for the Gristleizer.
It's MusicPCB's board. It's a great board but the building process was not so easy.
There's a lot of wires, the project doc is not as detailed as Madbean's or GTR2's.
The waveform rotary switch has a weird behavior since I have oscillations in the first two positions, then 4 "steady" positions and finally oscillations in the next 2 positions. I may not have the good rotary switch. It is from Banzai and the description is very sparse and unusual for me (I ordered a 1x2x6 switch thinking it is a 2P6T ???).
By the way, I ordered new switches and I will perform more tests.
I decided to keep the main LED always wired so it blinks all the time and I added a ON/OFF LED and a bi-color LED on the VCA/VCF switch.
I built it for a synth I have and play with. It is an old monophonic Roland SH1000 and they are already good friends !!!
Here are the pics:

I wanted to do a 2 color enclosure but the first result was not as good as I expected.
So I was about to remove all paint with a sandblaster I have at work and I decided to keep it partially sanded.
I love everything about this! The multicolor paint/stamp job looks fantastic.
The paint job looks cool. It looks like someone ripped off the outer layer to reveal the knob labels.
This pedal is such a cool project, hope you get it working to your satisfaction. :)
The look on this is perfect! The synth knobs are just right for it.
If I remember correctly, this circuit was designed for the band Throbbing Gristle. '80s underground industrial stuff.
i built this about 2 months ago. it's a really awesome circuit
Make a demo!
cool project! Any chance of a demo with guitar? thanks and congrats

Thank you !!! I wanted to make a clean bi color finish but the borders between the colors were not clean at all. I always use the sandblaster before applying any paint or to remove bad paintings. In that case it looks cool and I love it too !!!

I'm learning a lot with each project I build. It was my first use of a rotary switch !
The stamps I bought are really cool and Stazon ink is very nice too. Thanks Brian for the idea !!!
It's very difficult to get all letters in line but I think I'm getting better...

In my opinion it's really a synth pedal.
I'll try to record something with my phone if I can...
