Good callout- there is a bottom half that you can’t really see in those photos. These aren’t great shots, but here’s the side and the back.

I just built my first HP, and I really dig it. Definitely interested in trying some of those mods. I’m planning on exploring the Catalinbread Karma Suture, could throw the mods on there for a 6-knob HP.

It is stainless! I was pushing my body weight into it. I bent the face while drilling, fortunately I was able to get it most of the way back.

I bought this enclosure from Missouri Electrical Box Company a while back, and wasn’t sure what to put in it. I have an old Dano with lipstick pickups, and in my mind a Harmonic Percolator seemed like the right type of grit for it. Nevermind the fact that I’ve never built or even played one...

Solved. I had to twist the legs on Q1 and swap the Base and Collector.

Hello. I have my first Harmonic Percolator that I whipped up last night. It sort of works. When it’s cranked, it’s about halfway below unity. When I switch to my hottest pickup and really dig in, it almost wants to get loud. It kind of makes me wonder if it’s misbiased or something. That, or...

Are you mounting the pots on the same side as your other components? That’s the only thing I can think of that would cause that issue. https://wiki.pedalpcb.com/wiki/General_Build_Instructions#Installation

Very nice fit there, and I love the simplicity of the knob labeling.

The Parasit Raygun Youth is fun and wild. There’s a stripboard layout for it. I made one with a three way switch instead of the rotary ( my first stripboard build). But between the Raygun and the Nutty Fuzz, I would choose the Nutty Fuzz.

I feel like I have no choice here.

One that surprised me that I use all the time now is the Nutty Fuzz. It’s basically just an Escobedo Ugly Face with an expression input. Simple Build, super fun.

If you go with the intelligent relays, you can connect the control pads and it will behave that way. You could probably even add a toggle between the control pads connection to go between A/B to A+B https://www.pedalpcb.com/product/relaybypass/

Here’s the post-mortem, which might be interesting for some folks: https://blog.cloudflare.com/18-november-2025-outage/

Imagine being the person that caused the feature file to double in size, making it too large to read and then it replicates across all nodes globally while everyone’s thinking it’s a DDOS attack.

I was wondering if something like that might be the case- thanks!
