Finally got a chance to put together one of these and man, it certainly lives up to the hype. Admittedly I'm already a fan of Big Muffs, but this thing takes all the stuff I like about them and adds a lot of features that I found myself wishing big muffs had. The two modes are both awesome and distinct from one another while still feeling familiar, and I am always a fan of a mids boost toggle that isn't too in your face about it (I don't think this one is). The Doping switch is a cool little feature as well, and while I'm not entirely sure what's going on under the hood I like how it sounds when it's engaged with the 1979 switch as well.
I put together a couple sound clips to try and show some of the range that this thing has. For whatever reason when I load audio files onto Imgur some of them have this weird crackling that gets introduced. That sound doesn't exist in any other instance when I listen to the clips, which is very annoying.
This was also my first go at wrapping enclosures in fabric, and aside from a few spots that are a little rough around the edges on the backplate I think this turned out pretty alright. The biggest struggle I'm having is the varying degrees of thickness that different fabrics have, how well they can handle being coated on the top side with mod podge, getting the spots with drill holes to be sturdy enough to cut while not being super sticky, etc etc. Overall though I think I'm figuring those things out with each new enclosure that I wrap fabric in.

. How did you handle the corners on your wrap? A normal corner seam seems like it would be too chonky, but maybe some contrasting seams would look cool. I wonder if you could undersize it a little bit and lay it out on the bias to give a little stretch, assuming the mod podge could hold it in place well enough. For cutting neat holes in thicker fabric, I used to use a little circular punch that came with a cheap rivet kit. Worked pretty well, but maybe overkill here, ha.
