This finishes my set of all the Basic Audio PCB's in the PPCB shop. This is based off the Lucky Number "Fuzz". To me this is much more of a overdrive than can get a tiny fuzzy when cranked. Also, to me, it does not sound great when cranked. It sounds really good with the gain dialed back a bit. Mine even sounds a little lower gain than some of the demos I heard. May be due to transistor tolerances. I used the same ones in the BOM.

It's got a very amp like quality. Sounds like some killer 70's rock tone. It's a fun one.

This was also my first time using the PPCB breakout board with the LED brightness trimmer. It's a cool feature.

Overall I'm happy with the build. Everything came out like planned.

Looks awesome!

Is that a lens? Or a flat-top LED?

Nice work. Is that a waterslide decal? I like the pattern going on.

Thanks. It is! White waterslide paper for laser printers. I've been really liking vectorstock site to grab backgrounds and edit them in inkscape.
