Hey all! Just finished boxing this bad boy up. Overall it was a super straightforward build, and all the components were easy enough to find (although for some reason I kept forgetting to check my build materials prior to putting it together, wound up having to put in two separate orders for two individual components. Very annoying and dumb on my part).
As for the sound itself, this thing is WILD. There are all kinds of crazy dive bomb-y, pitched and unison harmonics, and space ship laser noises that it can do. The fuzz on it is pretty huge and heavy and killer as well, and I really like how it sounds paired with the subharmonic section. I will say, there are a wide range of noises in here, and it feels like it's very easy to push it into the "what the fuck is going on this is a garbled mess" territory. While that might not be for me personally, I can see this being a pedal that people who are into creating chaos would really find a lot use with. Either way, though, it's a fun pedal to put together, even if only to make your guitar sound like a demonic, laser-equipped space whale. I put together a couple clips to try and showcase that range a bit. The first is just the fuzz with oscillator mixed in (on the unison, -1 sub setting I believe) with the Glide rate cranked. The second has all three voices going at once on the vibrato mode to showcase some of the more extreme sounds to be had.

My journey into adhering things to enclosures continued with this one. I really like how it came out, although I'm finding that some fabrics get along with Mod Podge better than others, or at least they are less finicky when it comes to applying it. For this particular fabric, I think the more "mesh" like nature of it allowed a few spots to dry darker than others if there was slightly more glue accumulated under it. It seems like the fabrics that are less tightly woven are a little more particular about how the mod podge can be applied, so that's something I'll have to keep tinkering with to get right.
