Excellent graphics; that gain knob is a turner.

Thanks everyone for the kind words of support!!!

Right now I have the pedal in ~90% working order.  It plays through and all, but there is some radio frequency interference. I've looked up some options
(1) RC circuit from the input jack to the input of the circuit
(2) shielded wire from the input jack

The former seems like an easy enough approach for me to check out, but i'm not sure about how to use shielded wire for the latter approach.  I picked some up from small bear but I haven't seen any tutorials.  It's probably really straightforward but I just need to find time to mess with it.

I'm using 2n3904 transistors instead of the 2n3565s; I'm not sure if that has anything to do with the radio hiss either. 

Another thing I'm noticing is that there is a slight lag for the octave effect when I switch it on.  Has anyone else experienced this with their foxx tone machine builds? It only seems to lag when I go from fuzz to octave, but not octave to fuzz...
best,
Lubdar
