Here's FY2, my new Companion. Her love is like a kick in the Shin-Ei

She's nasty, she's rough, she'll never learn how to behave. She sounds like a bee. I love to look into her big brown eyes (and her one 8mm green nipple).



What I like about her is she's got some guts.



This is her DNA.



FY2 wasn't loud enough, she needed a little LPB-1 kick in the butt to really scream. Her Fuzz control was totally useless so I rewired it like a blend pot.

Take homes:

• Jumpers and wires on the bottom make for a cleaner board
• There's just no way to make wiring faster, easier and cleaner for me
• I hate tinning wires
• Unnecessarily small lugs on power jacks are the single most irritating thing about pedals
• Seriously, why does everything need to be so tiny?!

Quick demo when I manage to find the time.

Looks awesome!

The small lugs on power jacks are annoying. What if I want to connect more than one wire to each lug? It turns into a balancing act quickly.

I chose the switched jack because it has larger lugs but it still wasn't enough.
For +9V I managed to fir the red wire for the LED and the polarity protection diode.
The ground lug...can we please not talk about it? It's a mess
