Nice job all!  I really love this pedal --- it really adds some shimmer and sparkle to any amp.  I tried fooling around with different values for R3 and C3 per the project document but came back to the stock values as sounding the best to me.  I even hooked up a pot to R3, set it where I thought it sounded best, measured the pot . . . . and it measured right at 3k3, LOL.  I've built two and here's the first one --- candy gold powdercoat with some gold flake thrown in:



I built a second one using carbon comp resistors but it sounded basically the same to me.  I tried to back-light the knob on this one ---- worked OK if you have the knob pointing straight north (it glows blue), otherwise it loses the effect (LED needs to be closer to the pot).  Candy teal powdercoat on this one ---- still needs a decal:

Excellent job!  I finished mine just recently and really like it . . . except I'd love to be able to tweak a bit more gain out of it --- Anyone have any suggestions?  I know it's a touch sensitive low gainer but mine doesn't quite seem to have as much gain as some of the vids I've watched on YouTube.  Plenty of volume on tap and the nature control works well, though.

Here's mine:

Here's mine --- the CV7003 transistor came from Small Bear and this little thing sounds great!  Going to do another one using carbon comp resistors to see if there's any noticeable difference.

Thank you all for the kind words.  That is indeed a clear decal over white --- once I powdercoated the box, I masked and painted the top white.  And yes, that's just a 3PDT switch with one of Small Bear's PCB boards on it --- makes hooking everything up much easier.

Just finished my Slow Loris build --- sounds great!  125-B enclosure, candy green powdercoat, decal on top.
