Another Quarantine Fuzz Mutation

[Chuck D. Bones]

I took my clear box Quarantine over to a friend's house and he loved the sound. So I decided to build him one. Same circuit as before. I used a green LED in place of the high-brightness red LED because the Vp was a little higher on this JFET. The COVID-19 board won't fit in a Handy box, so I built it on Vero. Doing an acrylic pour on an uneven surface presented some challenges, but I'm pleased with the result. The mini chickenhead knobs clear each other with a couple mm to spare. Volume on the left, Tone in the middle, Sustain on the right.

It looks edible....

That is very groovy and far out at the same time. Rockin' that Woodstock vibe.

I wouldn't recommend it, not RoHS compliant.

Brilliant definitely looks tasty I think that'll start a few conversations

Wow. My son used to produce works like that. Especially if he ate cheetos with milk. Man, that really had knobs on it!

Damn, I can't believe how good those boxes look with paint. Flipping the lid over for a crafty looking base for the win!!

Thanks for sharing!

Love the paint job!

I didn't mean it as a criticism! I think not only does it look amazing but it suits the enclosure very much. It's just what it reminded me of. That was something I had to attend to fairly frequently at the time.

Think of it as "toddler vomit chic".

It's cool. I was going for bigger blobs and much less fine detail, but the box and the paint had other ideas. I just went with the flow, literally. I thought it kinda looked like candy. Thanks to your vivid imagery, not so much any more .
