And some more fuzzy noiz boxes.
First up, the SUPERSONIC FUZZ FUN. It's a DBA fuzz, on a Fuzzdog PCB, that let's you have a potentiometer instead of the toggle switch to kick in the oscillation madness, which is a very good thing.
I also added a LPB-1 on vero to the front end, thinking that would be another good thing to have.
Fun fact: it has an AC127 in Q3, that my cheap ass component tester reads as Njfet (DSG). The the BoM calls for a 2n5306 in that spot, but the AC127 sounds fuller - or better - to my ears. To visualize the sonic difference try this, if you're old enough: 2n5306 = Twiggy, AC127 = Anne Nicole Smith.

Then, another vero build, the 3knob version of Fuzzlords Void Master. Tried a few transistors and settled for BC107B in Q1 and BC109C in Q2.
Sounds pretty good on bass, but nothing to write home about for me. My guitar player though really liked to play around with the Bias knob to get different kinds of slightly broken sounds or doing the clean up thing with rolled back Fuzz and other stuff skinny stringers seem to like. I'll probably not see that pedal again, unless I look at his pedalboard, but that's fine.

Finally, a very cool and crazy thing. This build was inspired by things @Betty Wont said in my BDSM project wish list thread and the parallel madness @Pauleo1214 regularly brings to the world. So, a BIG thanks to both of you.
It's two Devi circuits from Fuzzdog in parallel (Cone Riper and Hype Fuzz/Destructor Drive) going through a clean blend. There seems to be some interaction going on between the 2 circuits, frankly I don't really get what's happening on the electronic theory level, but the sounds, my dear god, the sounds.
It can do anything from straight dirt tones to crazy oscillation stuff, while occasionaly posing as a noise device that doesn't need an input signal.
