I have been playing around with PCB layouts lately and the idea that they can look cool aswell.
Maybe unnecessary, but fun and challenging. :) Here is alittle more info on these specific layouts.

The Active tilt Equalizer is a common filter that you typically find in hifi amplifiers. In the middle of the tone pot it is almost completely flat and to one side it boost below the center frequency and to the other side it cuts. It also works great as a treble booster or a bass booster (depending on how you set the gain), both as a stand alone unit or after a low output fuzz. I also made a vero layout for this aswell, found here.

The Bazz Fuss is my modified version of the single transistor fuzz by Runoffgroove. For such a simple circuit it sounds really good, especially with guitar (despite the name). Vero layout and soundclip here.

Hi Freppo!
I was wondering if the frequency response of this is similar to the Big Muff Tone Stack Tilt filter except boosted.
The description seems similar, with the exception of the center notch of a BMP. but essentially one side is HPF, the other side is LPF. Mid point is flat response.
