It sold out in a day or two last time so you have to be quick. I have a Decimator G String on my board which I can hopefully replace with this and then sell. From what I've read the Zuul is a bit faster to clamp. The G String is pure magic so if the Zuul is any better I'll be pleased
Also bunged this in the cart to economise on shipping:

Seriously though the Decimator is pure magic, my signal gets very hissy running a whammy into vintage style octave fuzz circuits and whatnot, but it's supernaturally quiet with the gate in. And so I find them quite exciting :-)
Board mostly done
The LEDs are working but no signal is passing with any combination of switches on/off. I’m assuming it’s probably a switching in/out issue as I’ve flipped the channel order and likely done that wrong, so will try and fix it in the morning after a decent cup of coffee. First step is to get bypass working and hopefully in the process I’ll get the dirty bits working as well. Wish me luck!
But when you put the input jack into the case it stops working because the signal is shorting to ground. The jack plug is contacting the contacts in the right places (and no wrong ones) and the tabs where the wiring attaches are free & clear of everything else inside the case. But it shorts the signal to ground via the case.
EDIT: No - cracked it... It's the other jack socket wired backwards... Which also explains why it's a bit noisy. I'll fix that and report back...
I still have 3x kits but despite having a couple of days off will stop for a little while (Sex Drive, EngThumb Comp and Rangemaster). What I do have is a couple of Gundam robot kits that I got in Japan and have been waiting for a spare moment to open up...

Also some one was asking about MIAB, I've built the box of rock from fuzzdog and it is awesome! Nearly identical to the one I owned if that helps, want to build the hype-r next
Going to get some paint and decal paper before boxing up the Rangemasters (x2). And I am waiting for a particular type of 2 pole 6 way rotary to arrive from Tayda in the US so I can finish the Foxxton Woods
I think the biggest difference in building was the new soldering iron which has a narrow tip, totally changed everything.
It's really quiet as well, which surprised me.
Quick question I have a pot can I swap out the resistor and add the pot in. Will it do anything ?

It's a great circuit that. The Meathead is similar and not much more difficult to build, maybe a good second project
I've just ordered a bag of Russian 1N34A substitutions https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lot-of-100-pcs-D9J-D9ZH-9-Germanium-Detector-Diodes-New-NOS-Tested/313001117828
Has anyone bought a PCB from 1776 Effects, and if so, did you get stung for import duty and handling charges? @Adam_MD ?
First, there was a cap missing and I didn't have an equivalent in the parts box - 330nF. Not a big deal, but irritating as I'm in Abu Dhabi so shipping takes *ages*. Rather than bother Lee with it and stall the build, I made up a kludge using 2x 1uF electrolytic that I did have (short ends soldered together, long ends into the PCB pads). That gives me ~500n which is near enough as it's only part of the tone circuit. You can see the big electros bent over in the middle of the PCB below.
Next... it came with battery connector but not TRS jack and the case is drilled for no battery. "No problem", says I, "the board is tiny so I can fit the battery above the switch without issues". Yes, I can. But the ribbon cable is in the way, so I ditched the battery idea. Then I find the ribbon cable is also too short (presumably because it was expecting the switch 1/2" nearer. I only worked that out after soldering the ribbon cable at both ends... SMH.
So I spend a good half an our desoldering the ribbon cable and replacing with 4 individual wires that now go 2 each side, and right round the edges to make sure the battery has space in the middle. All good now.
Then the white LED I wanted to use won't fit in the bezel. Swap for yellow - that won't fit either. I'm not sure where either came from but obviously they're fractionally bigger than 5mm. I eventually found a blue one that fits. All good. Again. Maybe...
But no, the 9V socket had a shit thread so its nut won't stay tight. So here we are, clamped in place waiting for some gorilla glue to set.
It's been a day... On the plus side it *does* sound pretty good...
I've been going slowly admittedly but work is busy and I am practicing guitar a lot. I drilled some holes last night and I plan to sand the enclosures and coat with primer in a bit. I've created a couple of decal designs and run them off on normal paper to check they fit. I only have a black and white printer unfortunately. There are another two enclosures to do on top of these
I do wish I had the space for proper drilling & spraying options. I’ve already got a couple of big chips in the copper one I spent so much time over earlier in the thread..!
I've sanded the plain enclosures ready to take primer coats tomorrow. Never done anything like this so obviously I'm doing loads at once so I can mess up a whole batch haha. Started designing decals
These are the Foxxton Woods, Fuzz Factory, Zuul noise gate, and the modded Acapulco Gold from Fuzz Dog. Got two Rangemasters, an Eagle Claw from Parasit and a Meathead to box up too. Two of this batch are gifts for friends of mine, they will have personalised graphics :-)
Although for enclosures I would like to get the powder coated ones. I think @ThorpyFX used those on the ones he made before his own brand took over the world.
Where do I find those at good prices.

Saw this for applying decals: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=563808110667849&id=100011159946165
If the painting actually works I'll describe how I did it lol
