Build documentation on the Flock coming anytime soon?

So, ordered the pcb, and due to some issues with diabetic neouropathy, I can't really solder any more, so rely on shops like Alchemy Audio and Schu Tone to handle my builds. Yeah, it kinda sucks, but I'm to keep them in business, but Alchemy needs the documentation to build the Flock...

Schematic looks to be here

Post in thread 'Flock Harmonizing Fuzz - getting feedback squeal'

Thanks for the schematic @Sturgad that's really helpful. Just tracing it through

I'm getting signal from TL072 to pin 14 (SIGIN) of CD4046BE, but VCOOUT on pin 4 is that constant squeal sound

I removed the CD4017BE and CD4024BE from the sockets and listened again, the same squeal is present on VCOOUT so it's definitely the source of the noise

I've used a TL072CP as a substitute for the TL072IP - I think this could be the problem

It should be a fair substitution but here the first half of the op amp is being driven directly into the second half to square the signal off for the PLL...

Thanks, but specifically looking for the full build doc, I already sent Alchemy the BOM and schematic. (Honestly I figured that would be enough to put it together, but nope, he wants the build doc too before he starts on it...)

Anyone else want to tackle a build? Lol.
I was going to combine the Flock with a noise gate, a ring mod, and a square wave trem in a decently large enclosure.

Honestly, I don't see why they need the build doc - everything is known if the parts are labelled on the PCB, the part numbering is on the Flock Fuzz webpage, + the drill template. And there's no transistors to bias, so it is quite straightforward. If it doesn't exist or appear soon, it might be faster to generate your own build doc - or come back here and ask one of us to do it for you if it is difficult due to your present status. Just post a pic of the PCB and anyone can do it for you. I sincerely wish you the best with your health, and hope the pain/numbness/etc goes away soon.
