Hello All you Fuzz Heads!
I finished this up over the weekend. Its a DBA Harmonic Transformer clone. Dan Minner from A.D.D. Effects did the enclosure for me. Enjoy the pictures.
A couple of things. (Paper airplanes and mammoth with the help of Mike above). Wooly mammoth, multiplex delay with individually modulated delay lines (that also have shape switches), and a hard squarewave stutter tremolo.

I mention this because the V1 panel or maybe it was the V1 pcb? had an error that would move the display to the right 4mm. you either got in after it was fixed or you performed some serious skills. from what you say it seems you were thinking more along the lines of having that last bit of perfection but I was actually referring to the first bit of fuckery. either way. consider yourself lucky that you did not get stuck with a V1 of microbraids diy.
I have a v1 uBraids laying around somewhere, never even noticed the screen not being level because I couldn't get the thing programmed in the first place. Fuck FTDI.
Put together a Parasit 0415 Guitar Synthesizer from a PCB this weekend. I did the Dirge finishing method of engraving, spray painting, then sanding down so only the engraved bits keep color. I had no clue what I was drawing while I did it, but I like how it turned out.
It's definitely my cleanest build yet too. Not much extra wire. I also got the board soldered up & tested within 45 minutes maybe, which was hella rad. Total time I'd say was ~2-2.5 hours.
