I may consider it in the future but it's something I plan on selling as I got an unexpected demand for them but at the moment that's not my plan, sorry guys.

Not my build exactly but I rewired the gift my Secret Santa sent me. The wiring (admittedly from him) was kind of messy. The pedal seemed to not work quite right because it wasn't getting powered properly. So I figured this may fix it, which it did for the most part but I'm thinking it needs a dedicated power supply in it. The adapter deal for the 9v supply seems kind of sketchy. All I did was replace all the wiring and drill some holes in the circuit board so that a few wires were properly mounted to it.

Wish I would have taken before pics. lol. Maybe my SS has one.

Also the board that was used for this was a fucking BITCH to solder on. It doesn't seem to want the solder to stick to it at all. Dunno what it's made out of but fuck me I'd avoid it in the future.

I also switched the knobs. This is a killer sounding fuzz. I think it would sound better on guitar though. Not a lot of low end in it Maybe a clean blend could be added?

I just realized I should have flipped the circuit so the upside is showing. I put electrical tape on the pots so there shouldn't be an issue. D'oh!

Beautiful work John.

One question - how do you drill your enclosures? Do you have templates or a drilling jig?

^ I was wondering the same thing. Also curious how you drill the holes through those beautiful plates. Do you install the plates before drilling?

I need to get a drill press.
