Built this using the vero layout at tagboardeffects. There was a bit of whine coming through the 1spot that a Huminator circuit on a tiny daughter board fixed.

I lacked the NTE109 diodes in the Wattson circuit, so I banged some 1N34As in there and it sounds pretty good. Has anyone compared their clipping characteristics? I'm having trouble finding them online, apart from eBay (and it's not cheap to get them sent to Norway).

For the starve I put a 5k linear pot in there. Helps clean up the sound and offers different texture plus an added bonus is when the circuit is really starved and the signal drops below a certain threshold, the sound begins to modulate like a tremolo. Lots of fun!

Looks great! I'll listen to the demo tomorrow, thanks for sharing!

Cool build. Really clean, and the graphics are great! It does sound really neat as a tremolo, too.
