That's impressive. I assume you clear coat afterwards? Sounds kinda sticky
I'll dig mine out and see what I can find out. Cool to know that straight up rattle can on water works. Seems like the right amount of effort to expend on the enclosure.
This sounds so raw and synthy. Absolute magic. And I love the very DIY enclosure. I have some hydrodip paints to try out, i just haven't really looked into how it's done yet.
I've only ever been contacted by them regarding a part I purchased (also opa2134s) that was determined to be a fake. They asked for images of mine and compared the identifiers to determine it was fake and then credited me for my purchase. I imagine they will do something similar for you.
If you reach out to Tayda CS they will do what they can to make it right. And if they can narrow down which SKU you got they contact others who bought them as well.
Good stuff here on the circuit and adjusting it.

I like the Mofeta. Just keep the master up and nudge up the Normal and Brite knobs to taste. Takes being goosed with an overdrive nicely. It is a fairly scooped preamp though so it might not be good in every context, but it definitely can do more than just doom.
The Fuzzly Bear is a Bosstone with a Bias control and double the diodes, which fixes the low volume of the original and allows me to get nearly infinite fuzz tones out of it. If you build one I suggest using all logarithmic pots because the gain and the bias come on strong quick. For me it would...
The Effectslatouts Great Vengeance (D*A*M Ezekiel 25:17)
This pedal is the secret sauce. I use it like a preamp and it's like a second channel into my gained up Friedman. It is actually strangely subtle how it just reshapes the sound. It gets praise from bassists, but this has been awesome on...
I looked and didn't see a quick shot of one of these on here. I don't enjoy fonts and drawing them. But it's good enough to step on.

For my Boss DD-5.
I highly suggest socketing the Titania Transistors and rolling through whichever transistors you go with to find a good sounding combination. Specifically the interaction of the pedal and volume knob helped me to pick a set with a wide range of available sounds. Good luck!
Out of hundreds of ICs I've purchased from Tayda I think I've only had one batch of bad chips and they noticed it before I did. It could be luck of the draw and you got one bad one. Either way it's something to try since some chips can be noisier than others.
