This isn't a build thread, this is me showing off my new BYOC ESV Fuzz. I made the Jack Orman pickup simulator mod, so it works great with my active and passive basses. I also added two of Beavis Audio's excellent mods - cheers Dano 
I got this gorgeous enclosure from Adam @ Swankbox (cheers mate!) and I couldn't bring myself to cover it with even the coolest knobs, so I put all of the controls on the inside. The Two switches are for Beavis Audio mods 
Check the Youtooob for the coolest trick of all   
Check out the LED function @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XiSQoMgBTk

Seems a totally inadequate compliment for a fuzz pedal... |

What's the purpose on this pedal?

Alot of people have been asking about the LED and it's not really practical. That LED draws approx 50mA. It was worth it to give it a go. But pretty pointless in general use in pedals.

Who cares what it draws, what the point is etc etc, it's custom pedal it can be as wacky as he wants only he's going to be using it.
Personally I love the inside knobs I have 2 pedals where I really wish they were like that.

Of course, we all want our gear to sound good, too. (Subliminal request: clips?  ) |
