First time sharing a build report here! I do printmaking so I adapted my screenprinting process and bought some special inks so that I could print art on all my builds. This is the first of many I have done here that I will be sharing.
This thing came together even cuter than anticipated. The light plate is just being used as a spacer since the build needs a 1590bb tall to accommodate a large cap and the transformer but tayda doesn't sell those so I had to improvise.
This thing is kinda gnarly, though I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the breakup is at low volumes. I don't know how much I like it over the single switch version, since I think I'd rather just keep it on a meatier setting all the time, and boy does it ever get meaty. I don't really like how you have to set the gain settings internally. The gain trim just adjusts the low overall gain but to set the high gain you have to open it up which is kinda a pain. It does sound really nice overall though, I think I prefer something like this to a traditional fuzz like a fuzz face or a muff even though it's not really the same effect. I could also see this definitely becoming an always on pedal for me at lower settings.
