Well, I'm not going to pretend like this one didn't give some trouble. Mostly because I let the first stage sprawl a bit, and it cramped everything else and made soldering through little windows not super fun. Forgot a resistor in the power section, melted a cap, banged up the array a bit with the pliers as well because I slipped while positioning pot legs. Le sigh.
I would really recommend starting with bottom layer things, and then soldering in all components tying into the pots. Makes everything a bit easier later.
But enough! If you want to hear me kvetch or want to talk PTP, you can ask about it.
A very sonically wide-ranging pedal but still has its own specific spice. You can get a bit of everything with a combo of the gain knob, the filter sweep, and the volume knob cleanup. Full left filter is doom fuzz territory. Full right is like lofi AM radio feels.
Gain is lightish and more traditional to the left; at about noon, there is a definite to full filthy fz-2/ foxx tone machine octavey grossness. Which you dig or no. Squidgy clipping that made me think of worms.
Volume knob cleanup is immediate and can be surprisingly super sparkly.
Did I mention it's very touch sensitive? That too.
It's a pedal unlike others and fun to play. Thank you much @Chuck D. Bones , the wizard man, and to @jwin615
