Uggo Boxes for Uggo Fuzzies

Hey - leggo my uggo!
(I think these boxes have that fugly duckling, only a mother can love thing going on)
Built up a couple fuzzies; an ROG Whisker Biscuit and an Escobedo Jinx fuzz on a capsnsuch pcb!
NOS pcb goodness right there!
The finishes are an inspired by Rej, 'destroyed in northern Canada' look with multiple coats of contrasting paint hit violently with a belt sander. I enjoy the weird, random results. We have too much light here in California to properly photograph these; they are much more dark and mysterious than they appear in my awful photographs. And look out - Morgan bought an old school Dymo label maker! Look forward to every pedal I ever build going forward being emblazoned with embossed stick on labels.
In love with both circuits. The WB is muff based and is the first muff variant I can remember not immediately wanting to sell. I'm just not typically a big muff guy. But the suggested ROG tweaks to the tone control are magic and I enjoy this one immensely. And the Jinx fuzz got stuck right to my pedal board - The bias knob varies it from OD sounding to glitchy, which lets you dial it in to be usable for chords or for just single notes. Can't believe I haven't tried this one before. It's a simple circuit that i highly recommend.
Oh, and Brian's current Fatpants project doc has a killer drilling template for fitting top mounted jacks on a 1590B, for those who care...

These look great Morgan. The outside is beautifully ugly
and the insides are just beautiful. Where can I get that Escobedo fuzz pcb? Great job.

Nice job, Morgan!
Almost forgot I even did that Jinx layout.

I'll look around and see if I can find one. If not, I can order some.

Ha ha! I had to look that one up. They certainly are gritty! And the smoke from the nearby wildfire makes the pics look a bit noirish.

Well done Morgan! But you're much more brutal than me... belt sander ain't for the faint of heart!
Digging the Dymo label on these... did a built little time ago, bare enclosure with P-Touch labeling... at first i was thinking of getting an etched plate for it, but i now really dig that labeling..lol.
