Building underway...

(pointless post but it keeps me motivated)

Those Harmonic Energizers need some strange values so I had to scrape the barrel and do some resistor stacking. Also wanted 2 1uf poly caps with 5mm pitch. Smallest 1uf I have that aren't electros were a quarter the size of the board so I caved and bought some new parts which I normally never do.

I don't want to go through the grown up sensible process of testing these before I mount them......but I will.

Artwork. This was supposed to be something simple to go on the pedal but it got out of hand. Maybe I can still make it work somehow.
I thought mating frogs was a decent image with the croaky wah and the two circuits together and the psychadelic connotations.

Knobs from old junk, fuzz tested and wired in, big caps, jewel lamp cover from 60s reel to reel. Starve pot works nice on the fuzz, will see if it's of any use with the wah. Looking forward to seeing what can be done with that spst momentary.
