I just cannot make a pretty p to p.
[edit: if I had to do it over again, I would build the two circuits separately, situate them/fold them to fit, and *then* put in the grounds and off-board wiring. This one has some funky connections with the switch. I was overly concerned with having enough space and laid down the grounds first, which ended up being both not economical, necessary, or aesthetic. But, as noted below....]
Welp, it works pretty well, though. I did some unnecessarily funky things from an excess of caution in following the schematic. Had to do some creative folding in the burn half as well, but overall, very fun, even if my fingers are a bit burned and my solder roll is shorter.
[edit: it's actually not as noisy as I thought it would be; a bit of a howl when both pedals are engaged and the burn is turned full CW. The "Heavy" setting has much less sustain than the "Heavier" setting and is much more fine-grained and chuggy, which is consistent with a bass cut. Heavier has a bit more that doomy throatiness. The Burn part is actually pretty satisfying. When both parts are engaged, Fuzz controls overall volume, Burn just kind of changes the flavor somewhat and makes it more ragged.]
Made it for my neighbor who I've been playing doom metal with since he was 14 or so. His fuzz and burn pedal broke, and he gave it away. [This one actually feels extremely solid.]
He is black, so I thought something other than Conan was appropriate.
I might wipe the text and do a better job [edit: going to redo lettering and illo with watercolor felts for a more psychedelic effect--the sharpie I grabbed had a way too big and soft tip].
[NEXT UP: Sorcerer Distortion! Looks to be a super easy linear build.]
