It's been a while since I've done a build report, I've been doing a lot of building but not a lot of boxing.
A big part of that is because I've been working on a few things, moving from DipTrace to KiCad, and playing with ideas for different faceplate designs.
I think I have got to a happy place with the current "template", and put it together for the Average White Fuzz by Dave.
I already had the v1 of his Arctic White Fuzz derivative, but the tone control is a bit lacking, needless to say the v2 is a damn gorgeous pedal. The Attack and Tone are really useful and it easily bumps onto the board as the FF of choice.
The guts are nothing special, I'm no cable master. I made a mistake with the PCB and had the Fuzz pot reversed, so there's some hackery under the board. I want to need to work on a better version of the IO board to make wiring easier.
The front is the usual faceplate template, but I put the Sheepylove logo backlit with LED. I am happy how it turned out, though it's not perfect. The logo is a little large and doesn't get lit up completely. Behind it is a 10mm LED, and a 12mm hole. I am keen to try a better illumination method, so I am looking for a 10mm flat top LED but can't find any in my searches.
