My Cosmopolitan (screwdriver)

[fish22]

Hey everybody, here is a cosmo I've been working on the last 2 weeks.
I have been trying to find a fuzz that isn't your typical fuzz face. I wanted something more like an overdrive with fuzz qualities to it, and I think this is exactly that! I absolutely love this circuit! I'm floored with how good this sounds. It is stock and uses an AC127. I really want to do a lunar module now too!
The color is red kryptonite. It was hard to get the sparkle to show up. Anyway, here she is!

Excellent looking build. I love that color and those engraved labels. This is a fantastic all around drive as well, it has been pretty much the only constant on my board for the last few years.

Excellent work. Very tidy inside and that color is amazing! (Also: laser etched?)

p.s. you might consider running a little wire from either the gain or volume pot's lug 1 to the back of the pot to ground the enclosure. You might not have noticed it yet, but you can get some grounding noise issues when touching an ungrounded enclosure (even through your shoe!).

Thanks for the tip. That might fix the odd ground problem in my Apis build!
yes laser etched. It could have used a few more passes but I'm happy with it!

That is f'ing gorgeous 

The Screwdriver is on my (ever expanding) list of 'must builds'.

Everyone who builds one seems to love it!

Thanks man!
You should move the cosmo to the top of your list.
I dont think there is a bad setting in this thing.
I love the shape/sharpness knob on this pedal; It takes it from slightly splatty/woolly fuzz to to a tight OD sound.

That looks fantastic Fish!  Great color and really nice labeling.

You really have to build it.  It might be my favorite fuzz/OD circuit I've built.

Looks really good, W!

Wow, great build!

[Rip57]

Very pretty. Laser etching - you have the fun toys. :-)

Still my favorite build to date along with the Pepper Spray! This one looks great.

I frigg'n love it! I have almost the same idea for my Cosmo except I went with the redvein with silver knobs.  Great minds must think alike.

Great looking pedal. I love that circuit as well.
