Outside of the fine tuner and increased speed capacitor for the LFO, and omitting the diode for the LED, this one's built to the doc

Distortion is courtesy of one of my Rats. At some point I plug in an expression pedal

Housed in an NOS Bud Box CU-234, and labeled with a Posca pen

This things a ton of fun and surpasses EHX's version of the Filter Matrix thing, though I don't particularly care for the resonance being attached to an LFO. Built this one for a friend, and he wanted the LFO to go both faster and slower, so I replaced the 1u LFO cap with a 2.2u, and slapped a 100kC pot between it and the board for a sorta caveman fine tuner. With both knobs zeroed, the LFO is essentially out of the circuit

He didn't care what I did for labels, and wanted to take it home asap, so I whipped out a Posca pen, and off he went.

Board was a breeze to populate, but the multi turn was a pain to get set right- felt like 30 minutes just to get it to it's tiny lil sweet spot. Were I to build this again, I'd use a normal 3326 trimmer.
 
I’m a big fan of this circuit. I usually pair it with a one knob clang from MAE in series. I should make another based on your mods to both 😂
 
I forget what order I did it in. Fuzz first I’m sure in this case because, the volume knob works so well on the clang, it only needed one footswitch and it was perfect. Someone bought it off me tho 😂
