What started as a scary build by Rob (deadastronaut) over at DIYStompbox has been laid out by George (Chi_boy) of VIPFX on a nice PCB. I built one of these on the etch mask that was provided by Rob but I had troubles with the offboard wiring and got frustrated with the build quickly. George’s layout made it so easy to get this up and running.

This thing sounds great and can get very subtle to very, very huge and oscillates nicely to infinite decay. I used the Belton BTDR-2 large and I am very happy with the results.

I etched the encloser with some artwork of astronaut cats (thanks Google images) in homage to deadastronaut.

Gut shot:
