Happy Christmas all... hope you enjoy your day 

wow nice work... where dya get the pcb's?

very cool, nice look

  cool... bet it sounds great

Nice job eniacmike... hey what did you end up using for the Vactrol or LED/LDR arrangement?

Gorgeous looking pedal and great job on the tight fit... those small enclosures must be a real challenge

Cool... good idea for a combo pedal

wow man awesome build!

...Came back, and my wife's sister had logged us out on the computer, meaning I lost all my work.

GRRRRRR!   Thanks for the 2nd attempt, its a good read

ah cool ty
i should get around to recording an mp3 of it in action
this pedal is still naked tho, working on the paintjob... slowly

word pman the 22n sounds much better

+1 get well soon mrs bean!

Pinched this idea from freestomboxes.org and its really working for me.  I built the Krankosaurus version 3 and did pauloman's 22n input cap mod which took a lot of the extra bass out. 
The presence mod is simple: Replace R16 with a pot (I used 50k trimpot, some recommend 25k)  In practice the pot works nicely with the tone control to shape the treble detail of the pedal.  I have the trimpot inside mounted on the PCB and have it set to about 17k Ohms...

The result for me is now I set the tone control to 12 O'clock and the Krankosaurus has nicer treble detail, a better match to the bypassed 'clean' sound of my amp.  Basically = Happy Cdog! YMMV
Btw, love to hear from an expert why this works

Freakin awesome! Love the graphics

Re: the finish.

Its just plastikote metallic red enamel spray paint mate. No secrets ha ha

I used quite a few coats of the stuff and then lacquered the hell out of it!

Looks ok but up close you can see imperfections. You live you learn I guess eh!

lol... You gotta work on that paintjob story, I prolly woulda believed you if you said you mix your own paint using exotic sourced pigments and real silver fleck
Lookin good from here!
