They all get tossed into my salvage boxes fully assembled. They're there if I need any parts, but still (mostly) intact in case I need to pull one back out for some reason.
Not yet. That's the Wah.
That's a severe case of SBGAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The last one was the "Boston Baked Boost", which is basically a fixed EQ set relatively close to Tom Scholz 6-band EQ settings.
Not much fun on it's own, but it's pretty fun in front of another distortion.
I had to adjust a few resistor values so those go into the box of shame. I'll mark out one or two incorrect component values, but anything more than that warrants reordering the PCB.

Ha! (Not really "On the Bench" - but required for the project none the less.) I re-examined my build notes on the rack mounted "Stereophonic Gizmotronic Symphonic Harmonic Perambulator" being built for a client. I had to completely re-work the interface layout to accommodate all that it really does. I may still need to go back and rethink the two Chorus sections to better emphasize the association of the Bypass toggles for each of two dual-chorus circuits.
The two FV-1 "Pythagoras" circuits will be synchronized and use dual-gang pots to manage their respective controls. Nor do they need a Bypass control because that can be achieved with the dual-ganged "Mix"control. The "Volume" control, also dual-ganged, will act as a master volume for the entire effect.

Dunno. Just Robert and I AFAIK.

Haha it’s just odd to see that unit popping up twice at once. How is that switch mechanism working? A spring to a SPST?

Yeah, pretty much. It's a plastic spring mechanism pressing down on a plastic covered SPST momentary-on switch, similar to Ibanez SPDT Momentary-On buttons.

Anyone who hasn't tried the Golden Faulk ought to, it's the last MIAB I'll ever build (probably)

I just drilled the enclosure for it this afternoon. I'm one A1M short, hopefully it will show up in the mail tomorrow!

That is the best MIAB I've tried, and MIAB's are kinda my thing.
It sounds great low to high gain, unlike some that only shine at one extreme or the other.
You can just barely crack on the Normal or Bright controls and get all bluesy and Hendrix like, or dime them and rock the F*$K out!
It's fantastic.
