Hi all. I've built a bunch of stuff over the last few years. Been lurking for a while but decided to start posting some of my more recent builds. There's good inspiration to be had from the Build Reports section, and hopefully I can contribute!

Built the Pumbaa a few months ago. Great distortion, plenty of sounds to be had. The Caliber knob is interesting, but I usually wind up setting it around 11 o'clock and forgetting about it. Oh well. Someday I'll broaden my tonal pallette.

Pretty straight forward build. Had to get creative with a few resistors. Looks like the op amp is scheduled for obsolescence by TI. Enclosure was heavily inspired by the original.

I think chicken head knobs need more love.
