Long shot but anyone need a giant fuzz pedal?

I have two of these enclosures available. They are the same style/size as the old Rotosound Fuzz, Vox Mk3 Benders, and some Park Fuzzes. They are big (~10" x 5") and old school, drilled for 3 pots, jacks, and a switch (no LED, no battery). Both are powdercoated in this white/grey hammertone.

Each is available in one of two ways:


WAY #1


Just the enclosure, bottom, and feet. Build you own whatever. $65 post-paid in the US (add $10 for more exotic locales)


WAY #2


Bespoke fuzz. You name the 2 or 3 knob fuzz/dirt/whatever circuit you want custom built in the enclosure, and i'll knock it out (within reason). Previous example of a built unit is pictured below. $175 post-paid in the US (add $10 for germanium circuits, add another $10 if you're in the pricey shipping zones).

Its now a Vox-y thing with two ECL84s. Maybe about a watt or two. The speaker, naturally, sounds like the worst ass an ass has ever assed. The "Line Out" jack disconnects the internal speaker for a speaker out to cabinet, which sounds great. The Phone jack does nothing, and the "Tube Blaster" switch currently does nothing, but not for long.

I have completed the mission: Tubes Blasted.

First off....speaker change to a Jensen Falcon 8 made a HUGE improvement. Second, the blasting of said tubes. Went with a classic germanium Rangemaster type circuit, set to full-range boost frequency. An issue was that the little rocker switches, at least in that size, dont come in dual pole arrangement so a true bypass option wasnt available. I wound up going buffered bypass with a classy little Pete Cornish style buffer on the front end. This motherfucker fucks now.
