The quality of the case, pcb etc was good and the resulting pedal sounds spot on compared to my KTR and Fredric Zombie Klone. I’ll post pics when I’m back from work
Should've gone to fuzz dog.

The Klon logo bothers me, so I’ll be copying the K at some point and using the toner transfer method to add another at the end to make it a Klonk.
I bought the enclosure, pots, knobs and pcb only so I can’t comment on the quality of the parts that a full kit would contain. It arrived a couple of weeks after ordering (declared as a gift showing they have the same attitude to customs as they do intellectual property). The enclosure seems good quality, as is the pcb (both look identical to the Ceriatone copy, I’d guess his supplier has figured they can make a bit of money on the side). Pots are full size, branded as Alpha. I put in Cliffs jacks as I like them and I wasn’t after full authenticity in my dodgy copy. Only complaint would be no diagram for populating the pcb (you may get one if you buy the full kit) but seeing as the pcb is identical to the original and the Ceriatone copy I was able to use the Ceriatone diagrams.
Overall, putting the issue of it looking like something it’s not, i.e. an actual Klon, it’s pretty good. If it weren’t for the enclosure though, I’d have gone down my usual route of veroboard and Hammond enclosure.
Whereabouts did you find the enclosure? These days the only pedal I find myself using is a RAT, I wouldn’t mind building one into a Klon(k) enclosure as something slightly different!
*edit* Scratch that:
