As the title says I'm busy building my own. Well not so much building at this very moment as I've been painting the case and it's baking off in the oven (Mrs N isn't too happy!).

Looking forward to the test later on today.

I've heard bad things about lingering smells from baking painted stuff in ovens...

BYOC are great fun! I've built four different ones so far- Tri-Boost, Tonebender, 5-knob compressor and Leeds Fuzz- all sounded great once I'd worked out the kinks in the builds (dry solder joints and the odd mistake in the wiring), and have worked perfectly ever since.

I was considering the Octave Fuzz as my next project, but General guitar Gadgets make one with an extra pre-gain control and a footswitch rather than a toggle for the octave up, which sounds very cool...

Aha! Me to! Can be shifted quickly by backing a citrus fruit or two for half hour.
