here is a snack shack build with 2n5088's in an enclosure that I polished and acid etched. this is one cool fuzz. I might add a volume control to the next one I build.

Dude. Sweet looking build. I'd love to see two little red leds in the knob's eye sockets. Kind of a different take on the cliche LED for eyes on the enclosure.
mabye I could pull it off with one of those clear shaft pots. hmmm.... guess I'm off to place an order. good idea bean...thanks
That knob is evil 8)
How did you do the graphic, it looks really cool

I was planning on doing that by drilling out the eyes of the Q Parts skull knobs. I ordered the clear shaft Alpha pots just this afternoon. The knobs are rather expensive, though. :-\
I just stole that knob off my kid's bass, heh heh.

My favorite method of sourcing parts. Stealing from your children!

The clear shaft pots aren't available in 500k. Drat!!!

Believe me, I know your frustration. I even considered adding a resistor just to make a 100k into a 250k or 500k, but that would give a different result, though it could work. If you try it, please let us know the results. :D
Maybe if enough of us write to Alpha we can get them to make some clear shaft pots in higher resistances and different tapers.
