Informant in ludicrous mode

I took Fig and Gordo's comments of "now you're just showing off" as a challenge...

I had a spare Informant all ready to go but without a home, and a brand new spool of bus wire...so....

Here we are at about 99% complete... where I notice the omission of 4 10k resistors.... You know... those esoteric, special order parts are easy to forget about...

If there's one think crazy ass spider wiring will teach you is how to solder from either side of the board...

This bus wire is definitely the way to go for this. just a bit more malleable so you can doo all kinds of gymnastics and still iron things out.

How's it sound mis-biased with open loops?

I was just screwing with an open loop, mis-biased Blue Clipper earlier, and decided to keep the open loop option on a toggle

The unconnected bit is for buffered bypass I thought.

Or are you referring to something else?

I was referring to the omitted 10ks

Leaving the feedback loops open like that can be kinda fun, in a horribly nasty and gated way in a lot of gain circuits (the Polar Cap fuzz / Pettyjohn Rail has an example of this, and to a much lesser extent the Op-Amp Muff Fuzz)

EDIT- my most recent op-amp Muff Fuzz build demonstrating the open loop gain, and purposely mis-biasing the op-amp

That's pretty fun sounding... I like what you did there.

For my next build I think I'll omit any component with a odd numbered value...
 
Looks great as always!

Could you do some sort of knots or similar weird stuff with the wires, or will that start causing some issues?

Surprisingly, I have yet to get any RF interference in any of my spider wired pedals. I think the enclosure protects most of it.

Mysterious cold solder issues... that's the real devil.

Knots seem a bit too far to take things. Even for me...
