Friend of mine wanted a Gary Clark Jr sounding pedal so I built him this pedal.  I made the mistake of asking him what he wanted to name it.  Not crazy about the 'Dr Fuzzy' name but this thing sounds great!  I'll end up building one for myself at some point.  Excited to hear him play through it.

Looks clean and super tidy!

Fantastic. They sound all Hendrixy with a tremolo and a wah too.
Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

Thanks guys.  A few firsts for me.  First ribbon cable for pots.  First 3pdt board.  First decal+envirotex.  Loved the ribbon cable.  Made a mess with the envirotex!

Hey congrats one more firsts. You know as you get more used to it the enviro gets less tedious all over the place.  :P

Nice build Philo. Did you do the sides or just the top with the Envirotex?

PhiloB

I hope so Jimmy.  Like the results. 
Just the top BillStein.  Used a PPP that's pretty glossy.  Blends nicely.
