Uproar with facemelter mod

[night-B]

I just finished my uproar using the facemelter mod. This is my firs succesfull use of waterslide decals  
I called it the snake bite.
Everything worked when I wired it up.
Even if it's not my favorite distortion to day (I love the kokbox) it's pretty impressive, huge presence, really cool variations with the clipping options. I built the facemelter mod just for fun and it really kicks ass! Huuuuuuuge wall of fuzz but I think it's hard to use it on a gig.
Sorry for the poor pics

Nice Job! And cool name, 'Snakebite'
Did you melt your face? Worthwhile mod?
Hey what IC chips did you end up using? I'm waiting on some parts to arrive before I start my uproar, havin trouble finding the recommended chips at a store that wont charge the earth for shipping them to me.  I was going to try TL072s first anyway coz I have those lying around and liked them in my crunchbox

I found the stock 4580d for cheap on eBay :

The facemelter is awesome! Huge sound, sustain for days... But you have a jump in volume when engaged.
If you don't need a mid-range booster I recommend to try this mod.
Good luck on your build

did you do any mods/replace any values ?

Everything's like in the BOM, no replacement, and only the facemelter mod. I haven't tried another IC but for me the 4580d is fine. I have played with it all the afternoon and it's a very good distortion. It sounds good with the macheen too
