This pedal was my first build, and intended for bass. My son likes to mess around with it on guitar as well. Initially, I had the input jacks wired incorrectly. Someone on the forum pointed it out when I asked for help (thank you). I fixed that issue, and now this Snuffy Fuzz is working flawlessly. I think it's a great option for someone just getting into pedal building like myself. I decided to drill out the enclosure first, then use it to hold the pots in place while soldering them to the board. This was super helpful and kept them aligned perfectly.

Finishing touches will be a black dress nut for the foot switch, some labels for the knobs, and enclosure graphics. My wife has a Cricut machine and offered to help. Has anyone else gone that route for labels/graphics?

I have done the Cricuit route. It does a good job, but I can give you some advice. When choosing font, pick one that that is not too thin. The thin letters can be difficult to tease out and adhere to the pedal. Initially, I tried to use acrylic to coat and seal the art to the pedal; however, I found that the spray seemed to cause the stickers to curl.
