Every tant cap I have used for pedal building has had a +/- indicated by a nearly invisible (+) mark on the cap itself but also with the longer anode leg.

I've not actually experimented with this, yet. My results were so good without one that I didn't really see the need. I have some of that triple thick clear glaze from Krylon that I have had good results with in the past (It really seems to add some depth to whatever it's covering) and I just...

I do something similar to the needle nose pliers method, but I use round nose jewelers' pliers instead because they give a nice, rounded bend.

Dang. Thanks for stoppin' by, Dusty. You made the world a more rockin' place.

I was going to vote for myself, but then I realized that my idea is terrible.

I'm a fan of no-film waterslide. It is pretty simple, looks good, and is near indestructible without a clear coat. You can do color with a color laser jet printer. I've not experimented with color yet, but now that I am back in the office and have access to a decent quality color laser printer...

All hail the Hypnotoad!

I've started moving them all next to the footswitch. Most builds have a ton of room there. I solder wire to the LED legs and then put some heat shrink over the legs to keep them from shorting on anything. Then I use a drop of super glue to keep it in the bezel.

I'll go with 88 hFE and .108mA. I'm thinking that eight is my lucky number, apparently. Thanks @fig for always bringing the fun.

A little Built to Spill to get the evening going after putting the kiddo down.

I've never used it but I've seen it at Stomp Box Parts, so you may want to check them out as well.

I used solid core when I very first started and it broke on me all the time. I switched to stranded and my finger tips hated me and I hated having to tin the ends and the curve never really seemed to come out of the wire. I feel like pre-bonded splits the difference pretty well. I've never had...
