I just had to build this one first when I got the latest enclosures I had printed at Tayda because it looked gorgeous (and the idea behind it is quite interesting).
Basically it's a fuzz with a feedback mode, which produces weird and interesting squealing noises - plus the feedback mode is controlled with a LDR. So of course I had to go with an All Seeing Eye theme, with the LDR in the eye.
I had some trouble with the LED wiring that I posted about, plus I substituted a couple of resistors and a pot since I was dumb and didn't order the right parts for this build. I'll probably change the fuzz pot since it should have been C2k and the closest I had was A10k, so I used that and a resistor in parallel to bring it down. But the taper is very funky now, basically all of the control is around the last 10% of the rotation.
One other resistor (which I socketed) was too big which might mean it has too little gain. It works fine for me, since I usually let the amp models do a bunch of the heavy lifting too.
Finally, the LDR and LED bezels are not steady (and I think the LDR might even move up and down inside the bezel), I'll have to figure out if I can tape them somehow or maybe just glue them.
But at least everything worked (except the LED) on the first try and I didn't make any mistakes (apart from not ordering everything beforehand), so all in all it went pretty good.I'll post a gutshot later on, I also have a couple of other builds I will probably post eventually.
Edit: Here's your gutshot. Please be gentle, it's my first time and I feel shy
