This is my first build post for this forum. I usually hang at DIYstomp and i love fuzz. Madbean's project are really awesome.  I finished these in the last week.  Both sound absolutely killer!

how'd you do the graphics on the first one??? I love it!
screen printed/stencil? Etched?

Welcome to the forum.  Those are some wicked builds.  How do you like the bumble bee?  I've built just about every other ge fuzz pedal, but haven't tried it yet.

Nice stuff and welcome! That warhead looks sooper rad. Does the toggle switch get in the way when you're using the stomp switch?

Thanks for all the kind words!  This forum is awesome.  I've been building for a couple of years now and have settled on etching all my boxes.  The Warhead came out super clean the second time around.  It went to a friend so I have yet to build mine.  Sounds so rich and warm.  It's really a great project.

The bumble bee is fantastic.  I built a Roland Double Beat Fuzz awhile ago and I thought I had found the ultimate fuzz.  The bumble is my favorite at the moment.  I had never built a PNP fuzz before but I had some cool trannies I ripped out of a radio gathering dust.  I thought this would be a good project to get some use out of the transistors.  I wasn't expecting much but was blown away when I fired it up.  It's perfect, I can play chords with it without it mushing up...

I was afraid of the toggle's proximity but it worked out fine.  I think it's just riding the line to being too close.
