Agreed!
They sound alright too!
Goes without saying, obviously. :wink:

BJFE Honey Bee.

It's a sort of weirdly modified RAT at heart, sounds way different though. I won't ever build an exact Uni vibe, they're a pain in the arse with the lamp and reflectors etc. I'm going to build an Easy Vibe which is a workalike with 4 LEDs and LDR optocouplers when things calm down, currently I have a steady 4-6 week wait on my pedals.

sounds pretty cool, burgs has set up shop with someone and they've been making combo pedals with a fuzz and a vibe or od and a vibe. the sound got to me again, he seems to get that proper thick swirl going on. both the vibes i had didn't sound as thick.

Last ones out before Xmas Break.

I've managed to build boards for 3 more pedals including WRSS's Machine but I can't get out to my folks (snow) to drill the cases tonight so I'll have to drill them when I'm back from Edinburgh on Jan 3rd.

Found the layout for the 4-knob machine, looks very cool and a fun project. Might build one of these to smash fuzz with :wink:
for anyone interested
