Woohoo. This build is so freakin awesome. This pedal is crazy. It sounds like electric static rain droplets. And then with one little twist of the knobbie its hurricane weather. Its my first build and this was the perfect one. I had some problems with soldering the first one since its my first time soldering but dwarfcraft sent me a pcb and the components to do again for super cheap. Fucking great. THanks you guys. So much fun. Thanks Again.

just finished this up
it works
I am not sure how noisy this thing should be and am also running it into a marshall mini stack so I think I have to try it with a big amp before I put the lid on tomorrow
if anyone sees anything I need to change let me know
although I won't get more talented overnight

I believe the enclosure is the ground in this one. So maybe that's why? Dunno. Can't remember. It's a noisy fuckin pedal though! But in a good way. Try it with the oscillation off.

thanks!! also is it better to install the switch, jacks and pots into the enclosure first and make all the connections to them while they're already in place or build the whole thing and then put it inside the enclosure?

That's gotta be a mistake. You could still use it probably, but no that's wrong.
