Utility builds (functional, not pretty)

Folks here build beautiful pieces.. really professional looking pedals.

I built this little Varitone control in a plain 1590A enclosure, and it just gets the job done.. it's strengths are simplicity and function.  The inspiration to build it came from Craig Anderton's Passive Tone Control schematic.  I omitted all of the controls except for the 'Depth' Pot.  It's an adjustable Mid scoop with a preset frequency (a 0.1 µf Orange Drop and a 42TM019 Inductor).

Anyone else have an ugly but useful build?

Give a man Fuzz, and he'll jam for a day... teach a man how to make a Fuzz and he'll never jam again!
