It’s actually quite good I’m not a big fuzz guy otherwise is build EVEN MORE...

FWIW it’s actually a little slow to dry - once I started installing parts in the case I realised it was still just a tiny bit “sticky” to the touch, and I’ve already managed to ding it just a smidge on one edge. But overall it still looks good
Temporary knobbage in place. Not sure what I will put on there long term. Also I probably won't keep the sticky labels as they very quickly pick up dirt round the edges. I'll probably do a waterslide decal. Full gut shot to follow once complete.
Lost track of time testing the meathead out, it's probably one of my faves, definitely through the practice amp anyway. It's always different at full pelt
I don't know how to mount vero so I use velcro tape and stick it to the back of the pot. I adapted a vertical pin mount pot with a small bit of vero.
I reused the housing from a Bazz Fuss and remembered when I opened it that it wasn't the best inside. I drilled without a template and the jacks are too close to the switch. Also it's a cheap enclosure and a bit more shallow than a normal Hammond one so I've had to line parts of it with electrical tape
My wiring isn't neat but I am not naturally tidy anyway. I think it's fairly sturdy though. I'd probably 80% trust it on my board
All in all a successful little diversion :-) back now to the rolling news
For a first build on vero you did well to get it working at all. I think only my fourth attempt passed a signal
I said maybe.....
Considering I've never used vero before, it's a bit daunting though. My plan is to have a toggle switch to change the momentary footswitch from the "detune" effect to a "slam" which maxes the feedback.
In other news I was able to install the input socket on my Big Muff Pi build today. Plugging in between Strat and amp, my first thought was: this sounds like a cheap distortion pedal. I quickly worked out that you need the sustain up to about 3 o’clock (at least with a Strat), the tone control makes a big difference, and it’s all about context. On its own it sounds, well, a bit shit, but when I tried playing along with Pink Floyd’s Animals, there’s the sound! You have to dig into the guitar quite a bit, you can’t just play a note and let the pedal make it sustain, it’s not as gainy as you might expect.
I also tried it with my Tele Deluxe, which is a much easier ride.
I’m currently sat listening to Animals (to be followed by Gilmour’s eponymous solo album from the preceding year) and you can hear how DG works the pedal.
Having to work and care for my other half who’s poorly, I find it’s a great way to relax in my spare time.
I get a real sense of achievement building from vero but of late I’ve been having my own pcbs made up and
fabbed.
I've never used them so can't comment on quality but they've been around a while...
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
