So.... My life still sucks

Hello people ... Never mind my whining hahaha. 
I had a go at the "EHX" Lizard Queen. Just added an input pot to simulate guitar volume roll off.
Laser etch. And all (the little) I know about pcb design is thanks to storyboardist's eagle tutorial, so thanks again mate.
BTW .... Should I give Fusion 360 a go or what other cad has the fastest learning curve coming from Eagle?

Looks great, dude! Nice and clean.

Killer. The I put pot sounds like a great idea. Where does it sit within the circuit?

Very nicely done! That laser work is clean —do you still have your 10W? I've thought about upgrading, just so I can work faster.

And nice work with the pcb layout, too!

I'm giving kicad a go. And the learning curve is strong. If you give fusion a go let me know. I just hate the idea of a subscription service.

Right at the begining of the circuit, but after the pull down resistor.. now that you mention ... pull down is in parallel with 1 and 3 of the In pot hehehe.... but hey .... it does it's thing.

mmm ... never had my own engraver... maybe your confusing me with someone else ... I did previously post a laser engraved Echonaut, but both jobs where done in local printing shops.
What I can say is that these etches were made with either CO2 or fiber lasers .. 50-100 W.. not sure. 10 W would be diode laser me thinks (you can confirm?)

I've sort of started with the free version of Fusion, just figuring out how to import, libraries, etc... haven't done anything new or edit yet.
