Thanks, dudes! I originally wanted to call the Kerosene, Atomizer instead of Kerosene but I think Kerosene looked better with that font. I kinda rushed that one as I had the board done for ages and just wanted to box it cause I had those enclosures. Don't really like the orange or the font so I'll probably end up stripping it and redoing since I only have a few of those wedgies and could do something a little better. The circuit is a weird one, too. Very subtle, more of any overdrive but has these weird artifacts that are distinct. I was kinda blah at first but it does sound good through a cranked amp. I think it may be a good one to keep around and see how it interacts with other pedals at various settings. I have a telecaster deluxe but need to get something with single coils. I bet this one sounds real good with single coils.
I got the enclosures from Mac Walker at DIYstomp. They were about 5 bucks each and are the size of a Hammond BB but a little longer. I had to tap into the two pieces that form the enclosure to allow for the screws. I had never done this before but it was easy and something new learned. He's out of these enclosures but is interested in making more if there's interest. I contacted him about doing custom sizes and he's willing to work with you but you would need to give him dimensions and probably order a minimum to make it work his time. I usually make my stuff in bigger boxes and I want to sometime down the road get him to make me some of those boxes that look like the Rosac Nu Fuzz. Those just look so cool!

Also, after I saw your rehouse of Jrmy's Buzzaround I went and ordered parts for a super mojo'd out tagboard Buzzaround. I'm really excited to build it!
