I had to trouble shoot a bit because it didn't work properly out of the gate. I check my voltages at all my ICS to start and noticed that IC2, the TLO62 which acts as the LFO, wasn't powered properly. I swapped the IC and had the same result.
It ended up that I hadn't soldered one row of th IC socket (D'Oh). Once I remidied that, it worked like a charm! Here she is!
I did the LFO/LED mod which shows the rate of the LFO theough the LED (makes it blink in time with it). Pretty neat overall and is definitely comparable to my CE-2 unit. I can do a side by side comparison if anyone's interested.
damn dude - lotsa parts in that - definitely not a build for the faint of heart!
Other builds look great! Are you buying pre-painted enclosures, or doing the work yourself?

The painted ones are all from PPP. They're painted enclosures are top notch.
I just grabbed a couple enclosures from BLMS (bitcheslovemyswitches) for some of my upcoming project builds, and for a simple, black or white enlcosure, they're great and the price is right.

So I finshed up two more pedals yesterday.
First one up is a Sanford and Sonny BlueBeard Fuzz clone. It's made with a MadBeans Mudbunny PCB but spec'd to the GGG Tuned Muff parts, which was pretty much an exact copy of the BB. The dude from GGG actually made them for SS for a while. Coincidentally, the parts are almost identical to MadBeans list for the Violet Rams Head build.

And here's a clip. This thing sounds monstrous in the room.

Good for the money?
I have two of those Harbor Freight work benches--they come in 2 or 3 sizes. When they go on sale they are a freakin' steal. I'm very happy with both benches.

Finished up a simple buffer from GGG last night. I needed it to go after my ce-2 clone because all my delay and verb pedals were acting a fool with no buffer in front.

Definitely my favorite muff variation. There's a version from Aion with an added mid control that I want to build...

Haven't updates this thread in a while. I've built quite a few things.
Here's one that's special for me since it's my first vero build. It's a DAM Dark Meathead.

Yup. Meathead is a fuzz face based pedal, kind of taken to the extreme. Like FF's it's really different sounding depending on your guitar/pickups and playing style. It definitely dooms.

So I finished up two pedals today. One is an Aradiator from Rullywow. It's an 8 bit style fuzz with an LFO. It can get really gated, or be pretty open sounding. Fun stuff.
Next one is my second vero board attempt. It's a Devi Ever Hyperion. This thing is pretty wild. Very rough sounding gain and very "Velcro" sounding if you know what I mean.
Clips to come...
