That looks grea......

Zoinks! I forgot it has a faceplate I'll go find it...duh Fig.

There now.....hmm, I might actually like it better plain

The faceplate takes away from the impact of the enclosure color and knob combo

Great build, but come on Tim, I've done two graphics tutorials and there are no excuses for blank enclosures

There are graphics actually. It’s just a really nice subdued 29.9% grey on 30% grey backdrop. A different take on the now played-out black-on-black color scheme.

It's like, how much more grey could this be? And the answer is none. None more grey.

If you don't like it with the faceplate, you can have a contest for it!

Spiffin' build Tim!
Where d you source mentioned 7532 LDRs?
Component placement and Tanatlum straightness is a meditation in OCDness. Noice.

Lovely stuff @fig - I always love your attention to detail.

Check out that thread.

I'll have to try them out. I have GL-5528, 5537-1, 5537-2, 5549.
Btw - quite challenging pedal to set up. So many variables - bulb, ldr, two trimmers.

It wasn't a difficult build. There were a few considerations such as the capacitor package height and the connection headers, but it seems a very forgiving circuit otherwise (or I'm just lucky). It functioned really well on the first test, without any adjustments to trimmers, etc. I would wager as long as the LDRs are within range (dark/light resistance) it would still sound just fine.

Thank you sir!
I've bought them from a few sources, but these are solid.

I have some of these lamps from SB as well, but I used an older one without the base. I fashioned my own using an LED bezel insert.

outstanding! Love your mojo build aesthetic.

I find Univibe easy to build. In my opinion it just requires additional effort to find the right parts. It's like with fuzzes with germanium transistors. One step to the right and it's magic, one step to the left.. nothing special
