I've been wanting one for awhile. Since I got that Pox. I don't imagine it'd be too hard, but I want a LFO and a few other things that I'm not sure how to go about.
Let's talk

Jimi is funny as shit and a really nice guy
anyway it has an LFO already and the schematic is online so really anyone can do it.

I built one of these as my second pedal. It's a great effect but I dismantled it for parts. The musicpcb one looks good but I don't think it has the LFO option. That info can be found at diystompboxes along with other mods. I remember mine was unbearably loud. Like the
volume pot was more like an on/off switch. Total silence to pure mayhem. I really only liked it at one of the more subtle settings which was a really great rocking sound.

well if you did it on strip you would just use the jimi photon layout. do a pcb with good documentation for your first project. do a smaller strip project before you do a big one.

Taylor's musicpcb site is now offering boards. If you want to build it yourself that's another option. He always has good
instructions for the builds.

Ye, I was kinda gonna have someone else do this, but I just read up on vero boards and understand them mostly and can ask the questions I need to after, although, I'm sure I'll get it. I'd do that musicpcb jammer, but I really want an LFO. I have a Pox from Exploding Head FX and it's definitely just an Uglyface, but I want the LFO feature.

Ah, the LFO. You can search at diystompboxes for info on uglyface mods.

yeah, not too tough to tack on an LFO aside from some annoying extra wiring.

I would rather do it all on strip than pay for a pcb and make a daughterboard on strip.
