I have a quick question about what type of CD4049 IC I should use. There is a buffered and an unbuffered version, and I'm not sure which one the circuit calls for.
I anticipate building it with the MN3007 IC. Thanks!

I have to keep the TAILS switch on, otherwise I get no effect at all. I'm not sure why that is happening, but I'm happy enough with how it is working and don't want to "poke the bear" by messing with the effect too much because of how much effort it took to get it working in the first place.

There is nothing in the documentation about any difference in the 3pdt switches.

Thanks! Yes, I swirl painted it using Borax and Humbrol paint. I painted the graphics with Posca paint pens.

Here is the requested gutshot.  The rehoused Behringer comment took me out. 💀

I finally completed the Aquaboy Deluxe. Issues that I encountered were a tl062 that wasn't producing enough voltage to light up  LED3/LED4, and a trimpot that I most likely overheated when soldering in.
For some reason, the delay won't work if the Tails switch isn't engaged (any thoughts on that are welcome), but it's nothing that I'm too concerned about to figure out why.
I biased the pedal by ear against the recommendation of the build docs, but I wouldn't recommend it. Biasing this effect doesn't have the same flexibility as a fuzz (at least in my experience).
It's a great sounding pedal, but it was hands-down my most difficult build to-date. At least obtaining the bucket brigade chips is now much easier thanks to the CoolAudio remakes.
