Fibus your COT50 is coming along quicker than I thought since I managed to drill the case at my folks yesterday before working on my guitar with my Dad. So since then I have primed and painted it (yesterday) and clearcoated it (today). The board is built but not tested so far, I'm going to do that now and hopefully will be able to build it for you tomorrow.

Nice one man, you are a machine! I wasn't expecting it for weeks. Any pictures or a possibly demo video before you send it off?

Also i was wondering could make it so that its not a super bright blinding LED? A normal non-retina damaging LED would be preferable.

Argh. You're a little late.
I've literally just finished building it. It has a bright LED in it but it's got a 10K resistor in the path to dull it down a little. I don't have any "non bright" Green LEDs at the moment I'm afraid. Hope that's OK.
If you're really bothered by it I can hack in there and try and replace it with a yellow one., but it won't be pleasant or easy.
You can choose your favourite knobs:

Man that looks awesome! Don't worry about the LED its not a big deal, i'd say leave it the way it is. Can you label the pots on the inside so i can tell which one is which?
Oh and white knobs please!

It's Gain on the Left and and Tone on the Right.
Or Structure and Nature as they're called in the design.
I can scribble an N and S on the back of the pots inside if you want. I like the knobs too, cool aren't they? I stole the idea of James but I was looking for more options at 19mm since my beloved Mustang knobs are deleted it seems.
Video uploading.

No need to scribble after watching the video i can figure it out. Man it sounds great, i can't wait to get my hands on it and the LED looks really good with the paint job. Nice work man, very nice indeed!

Sub's overdrive went out on Monday and Fibus' COT50 went out yesterday.
So my board is clean of orders. Enjoy your pedals guys and let me know how they go.

These are very cool. I toyed with attempting a pedal once but swiftly put the idea on the shelf when I discovered I'd have to use my brain. I love the look of these too.
Do you make a fuzz? (I'm too lazy to read the entire thread)

I make a bunch of Fuzzes.
Fuzzfaces, Fuzz factories, Octave Fuzzes
