Antithesis Fuzz (Germanium Version)

Man this thing RULES. I'm really pleasantly surprised by the range of tones - and usually when I say that about a pedal it's like "oh, it's cool that it can do sounds I can't imagine ever using, don't care about, and don't understand why anyone would want" - but with the Antithesis I don't think I've returned to a knob positioning other than all at noon since I boxed it up a few hours ago. Really easy to dial in 60s psych rock tones, which is what I have in very very short the demo.

First pedal I've ever boxed up without contempo/brutalist knobs. Not happy with the amount of effort I put into the graphic (none) and felt like it needed something to liven it up a bit.

@Chuck D. Bones's thread on modding the Percolation Station was a super useful resource while building this also. Settled on a germanium transistor with the lowest hfe I could find in a batch that mostly hovered around 120-140, I think the one in it is ~110.
