After a long layoff from building, I completed this build yesterday. I found that (like practising) given enough time away from a regular task, one's chops tend to deteriorate but I was itching to build this.

It's a great sounding circuit as many others have reported but I need to do some careful retouching work on the switch soldering, where I notice I've missed a couple of spots. Hence, switches 1 and 2 don't do much but I'll get to them in time.

Sound-wise I like the rhythmic delay aspect, where different combinations of switches provide lots of options. I'm giving the build its full complement of stars for its fun aspect. As far as my own competencies go, I probably deserve no more than two but things will improve (I trust) as I get back into building more regularly.

I have picked up a popping noise problem, which I'll post in the troubleshooting thread. Apologies for the duplication but I don't want to confuse by posting different (conflicting) issues in the same thread and spoiling an otherwise very positive build report.

Thanks for reading as ever. NGBS, as @fig says.
