My First Pedal From a Schematic

[skypn]

I spent most of the hiatus trying to complete at least one working pedal. After many many mistakes, all of which I learned from, I've finally have one. Its a clone of the Bazz Fuzz with an added blender to tame it for the Bass.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the latest offering from Nelson Audio...The Scuzz Bucket.




And the required gut shot



I like the way it sounds, but man is it scuzzy. I made a few layout mistakes, but I had a working PCB, so I went with it.
Operator 217 is a nod to my daughter Liz, which is 217 upside down.
I would like to thank everyone who replied to my many posts asking questions.

Very cool.  I like the labels that you've come up with.  Have you etched that PCB yourself?

Awesome, especially for a first build!!! Love that circuit!

So I don't think you need to specify it as being a "clone" it is just a Bazz Fuzz. It is a DIY project and you built one Therefore it is a Bazz Fuzz

Thanks for the compliments guys.
mjg, yes I etched the board myself. The couple of times I'd tried prefboard, when I had to remove a part for troubleshooting, I found it to be a major pain in the keister. I used waterslide decals (which I had some trouble with my printer not wanting to play well with others) for the graphics. I love the way the "80's" pinks and blues look against the bare aluminum.
Matmosphere, I refereed to it as a clone as to not to take credit for the design.

Looks awesome! Did you cover the enclosure with something over the decal? I tried self-adhesive decals, they scratch end tear off easily(

3tonesnd, yes, I covered it with many thin coats of clear coat, then Turtle Wax.
