I'm embarrassed to say I'd have to learn that as I have no idea that's what it sounds like.

I'm going to make a start on the circuit tonight

Decal'd and clearcoated. Pics to come tonight when I can pull them off my phone to my laptop.
I really wanted to use these Broncoish knobs that Finboy sent me, but they don't fit on solid shaft pots, only split shafts.
I need the following values; 10K, 25K, 50K, 100K and I only have the first two values in splits, so they're going to be either Mustang knobs or Boss knobs I'm afraid.

I'm fine with either, mustang knobs are probably preferable though.

You misunderstand. I have those two values in split, but not the 10K and 25K. To order them would involve time and a costly shipping charge and a delay to this pedal completion.
It's a shame but I'd rather not pay through the nose and make the guy wait. The next time I order I'll get those values, and the next one I build will have them.

Mine'll be a one of a kind prototype.

I like making noise.
I should specify that I've only been "officially" learning for three months, I've been screwing around on guitar for years. In my old band (where I sang) my guitarist taught me a few of our songs so I could fill out the sound a bit while he solo'd and such.
My skills are weak yet, but I know the tones that I like and I know the kind of sound I want to make. No reason not to buy the gear just because I still suck. At some point I'll be better, I hope. With 2 hours a day of practice I certainly hope I get better. LOL.
But current rig is a Mosrite Clone, Franken-Sonic, Sovtek Mig 50, and a cheapy rogue acoustic. I've had most of that stuff for about 5 years now and I'm just now getting really serious about guitar. lol.

It's got clearcoat on it now so the decals are more blended into the finish.
