EL Chaos Bolt

And another Effects Layout board boxed up. This is the Chaos Bolt that is supposed to be based on the Eau Claire Thunder (from Dwarfcraft).
There were different versions of this idea from Dwarcraft, the big box, the Baby Thunder and I think even some mojo or gold edition?
Anyway, it's a Muff at heart, with a few tricks up its sleeve.

There is a tone bypass switch (called CLAP), which always comes in handy on a Muff, as the Bluebeard proves, for example.
Then, there's a switch (called CLIP on my build) that adds a green LED to the 2nd gain stage.
And, la pièce de résistance, a tuneable feedback loop, triggered by a momentary footswitch.
I'm a bit of a muff guy, having bought and built quite a few of its variants, but this one still brings fresh sounds to the table, so it's a cool addition.

The PCB was designed to fit in a 125B, but I'm way too clumsy to be able to deal with 2 footswiches on a 125B, so I put it into a BB enclosure.
