that looks like a PCB design... but when I've done Vero I've started with a bit of paper and the most pain the ass component. (the IC with a cut to separate the two sides) and then build out from there.

I want to build one, but I havet actually got a clue what it actually does, kinda EQ?
It's a clean preamp with a couple of toggle switches to boost or cut specific frequencies.
I built it to the values printed on the pcb, without modifications.

just finished a couple of Ezekiels (a 125B and a 1590B2). both with relayed true bypasses

I like it just for the name. Did anyone else read that and hear Samuel L. Jackson’s voice?
I just finished of of these as well - and I agree, it sounds good all around, it's impossible to get a "bad" sound out of it. Also built to specs, all values as indicated on the pcb. (through hole 2n5457 from Fuzzdog).
I still need to spend more time with it and pair it with dirt pedals, but first impressions are pretty good.
Yours looks great! Love that steampunk submarine graphic.
I haven't shared many of my recent builds because my artwork has been goofy and my labels have tuned out wonky in some way. My hand written labels are sloppy and hard to read on my Drebbel. I finished building PedalPCB Equilux mini yesterday and the labels on that are congested and messy too. Pics to come in a week or so.
On another note, spring is here! yay! Except pollen and bugs left blemishes on the two pedals that got clear-coated over the weekend

my latest Dam Ezekiel clone with a relayed true bypass in a 1590B2:
PedalPCB Equilux EQ
Wanted to give this one a try after reading the Pultec trick thread. This is my first experience with Pultec EQ's. I found the controls for Hi boost and cut weren't very intuitive or noticeable on bass. Low freq settings were nice and noticeable and the Pultec trick sounds good too. My final impression is this effect could be simplified by removing the high controls, like Zero Five Low Rider has done.
PedalPCB Vibrobot tremolo
Basic tremolo with sine, tri, and square waveforms coming from an ICL8038 ic. True to FranTone style, I've included oversized 1000uF power filtering capacitor.

i like it a lot and am keeping one, but a few people wanted me to build them one too.
Decided to rehouse my Future Impact and play with my 3d printer at the same time.
It’s obviously based on the Future Compact. I did not scan the future compact or measure anything off of it. I can’t afford a 3d scanner. I measured all the holes and mounting points from the original FI and made up the outside slope and dimensions. Drawn up using Fusion and made my own waterslide in photoshop. It was a lot of trial and error and failure but I finally ended up with something usable.
It’s not perfect but it works.
I still need to print a black cover for the bottom. I learned a lot about Fusion through the process.
Big high fives to GisserD and Pedelnetics for doing what they do in the 3d printing world.
