As mentioned in the Wrecking Ball thread, now it is really finished.
I went back and forth a with a few different resistor and cap values and went back to stock except for R15 for a better presence control.
I bought the kit at musikding and a glow in the dark enclosure at Tayda. It took a while to come up with an hilarious name/artwork ;)
The enclosure is not a real feature as the glow vanishes after a short while. I think my stickers back in the days had a much better endurance in terms of light emission.
Currently I play with it either with my tube amp in the amp return or with my new Unicab/Reactor/TPA3118 pedalboard amp.
Sometimes I like a boost in front of it.
The only downside that I can think of is the layout with the mini knobs on such a large enclosure but that's not a big deal.
Thank you @vigilante398 you did a great job.

PS: I use a Onespot 9v 1700mA PSU which get really warm. Do I need another one? I mean 800mA was mentioned in this forum.
 
I did not use pcb spacers so the pcb is held by the pots and the switch. The pedal is for home use so I think that is ok.
 
Love this pedal. I built one not too long ago, although my enclosure is just bare metal and nowhere near as interesting! I play it mostly through an Amped 1 as I don't have a valve amp with FX return. FWIW - I'm in the UK, I use the same power supply (Onespot 1700MA) - I haven't noticed any issues with overheating, although I do use the Onespot only for this pedal, or separately with a C2C Black Eye.
