I put this one together over the weekend. It might wind up in Troubleshooting, because of rampant LFO issues, but I've read some pointers from @Chuck D. Bones regarding capacitor swap outs and higher gain transistors I'll try first. That said, in the narrow range that it works properly, I'm getting some lovely '60s tones out of it.

The cosmetics are my standard Fairfield poach. I'm glad Fairfield has normalized imperfect stamping, otherwise that wayward second "I" in "intensity" would drive me to distraction. It may still.

I usually get a little more creative with the naming, but I wasn't feeling it this time.

Posting the guts now before I butcher them with re-work:

My phone camera warps perspective when I take closeups. It's irritating when I know that some things are parallel or right angles and the photos don't reflect it. Oh well.

I've been working on upping my 3PDT game. Here's a better shot:

It's not perfect, but I feel like they're getting better every time I wire one. As I'm sure others can attest, straightening wire is a maddening endeavor. If anyone would like to offer their tips and tricks in that regard, I'm all ears.
