Here is the message from the Facebook page -- Dear fellow pedal people, If this message gets posted, it means that something went horribly wrong. I've been fighting a nasty lung inflammation for over a decade, but now it seems it has gotten the better of me. I just want to thank each and...

I use wire from both and usually reorder when Barry's Best rises from the mist or when needed from SBP.

seems like something fun to breadboard.

are you getting any dynamic range out of this configuration when you take out the diodes?

you get a great kazoo sound in some of those notes. really fun.

Does your pedal sound like the demo for its inspiration?

Happy PPCBversary! 86 pedals in a year is something. what are your favorites from those builds?

Some of the background noises you are getting may be due to the effect not being in an enclosure that would shield it. If you already have a drilled enclosure, install the board and see if that helps. Are you planning to leave the daughterboard connected to the main board? Or just avoiding...
