I hadn't seen any build reports for this pedal, so I wanted to write about this one. The Glue trap is based on a dual op amp Big Muff. This variant is from Greer Amps and I think they did a great job. I haven't played it too much, but I think it played really well with my baritone and single coil strat. @owlexifry had breadboarded this circuit and said that it paired well with humbuckers, so I'll try that tomorrow. The tone knob had a significant range of sounds, but you can find your voice.

When I was preparing the art, I was reading through "Vintage & Rarities: 333 Cool, Crazy and Hard to Find Guitar Pedals." The book had some nice looking pedals from the former Soviet Union/Ukraine, and Greer's aesthetic reminded me of the show "Fallout." With that inspiration, I went for a a Ukraine/Russian theme. The labels for the pots are the Russian translations for the words; however, I cannot remember the name of the pedal...... I think it is "Radioactive Fuzz," but I am not sure....

Solid build as always!
How would you compare it to a standard OABMP?
What finish is that? Is it the lighting giving it a almost pearloid look? I dig the whole aesthetic.
 
Thanks!!

The enclosure is a Tayda special, white hammered. I do think the lighting does make it look more pearloid. Regardless, it is a nice finish.

I actually have not played another op amp big muff, so I do not have any comparison.
