thanks,
all my stuff is free for ALL the diy'ers.
the 9v system i had help with from them guys, in fact..in the end i adapted steve daniel's <smallbearelectronics.com> circuit for another old fuzz, and dropped the voltage from 9.47 (wallwart) to 1.7v after the diodes...made it a much more robust pedal, it doesn't sag as much as with the penlight (which sagged to the point of being unusable) and has a really nice, useable tone.
i need to ressurect my old p-bass case pedal board, i think, to fit all this crap into!

over 50 builds at this point..probably close to 70 or so.
