Cool! Have you tried it with different pickups, single-coil and humbuckers?

Just single coils so far...
I need to try some Humbuckers...

Looks great!!
I’m going to build one of these for myself and one for a friend after the holidays.
How much does the bias trim affect things? The Fulltone page really stresses it as a feature:
“Adjustable Transistor Bias trimmer. Want it soft? Want is hard? Want more or less chime? Just turn it and adjust by ear, there is no wrong setting.”
Since there’s plenty of space, I thought I might just wire it to a pot on the front panel so it’s always available to tweak.

Sweet...
The bias wasn’t as drastic as I thought I’d be....

Among other things, the bias pot will change the input impedance. The Range Master circuit (and that's what this is) has a pretty low input impedance and it loads the pickups. Turning the bias down raises the input impedance, making it more "chimey." How pronounced the effect is depends on the pickups, RANGE switch setting and the particular transistor you install. If you want more high-end, try putting a buffered bypass pedal in front of the Range Finder.
