I believe I've been officially infected with the pedal-building bug! After building a Big Muff from a BYOC kit, I decided the next pedal I wanted was a Rat. It all worked the second time I plugged it in (the first time I plugged it in I had skipped the final step of seating the IC in the socket.

I let my girlfriend choose the colors, yes the LED is pink too.

It has a huge range of tones! I love the way it sounds, and it interacts so well going into my Boss Blues Driver too. Less hiss/hum than the big muff, but the muff has a certain fullness in the low end that I think I prefer at the moment if I had to choose a favorite child.
I can't stop thinking about stompboxes, I want every flavor of overdrive/distortion/fuzz now. I want to get a Crown Jewel ASAP so I don't have too many spots on my pedal board taken up by different boxes.
