Just finished this up for a buddy of mine.  I'm sure this name has been used before... if not, it's high time that it was!  I was surprised how good this thing actually sounds for guitar - the "Bite" control sort of controls sustain at the same time... you can get everything from glitchy 8-bit sounds to sustained-out "guitar is alive" type gain.  Only gripe: if this ever gets produced again, pcb-mounted pots would be greeeeaaat  ;D

Please note that the sexy oversized electrolytics have made another appearance.

No... although that would have been a cool idea if I could have cut it out right...

The graphic is the scene where he busts a blood vessel trying to pass gas...   ;D

The Woolly Mammoth is the pedal that started this whole thing for me. I really wanted one for my bass, but definitely couldn't swing the $359 price tag. So out of curiosity, I searched to see what was on the inside that made it cost so much. Then I stumbled upon the FSB thread on it, and was shocked that I could build my own for like $30. I dove in head first and etched a board based on Brian's layout, and never turned back. The rest is history. :)

This might be a fun topic for it's own thread... "Why did you start building?".... i think I'll go start it.

It's "Signal Violet" from Pedal Parts Plus!  Love their enclosure selection, and they're usually pretty spotless as far as finish goes.  I can't even tell whether or not it's purple or hot pink in person... it's an enigma  ;D

Can't remember for the life of me what I yanked that off of!  Needs a white 9v jack to go with it, right?

I seem to recall a thread about those with a purple Sunking somewhere...

Barry sells them. They go out of stock as they go fast, then he reorders and you have to snag them when you can. Don't know of other sources though.
