I'm sorry for blowing up the project wish list. The Minotaur Sonic Terrors website is down but they still have stuff up on their reverb store. Billy Corgan Had the Evil Eye MkIII on his board. But I'm curious about some of their other pedals too. They all seem pretty rad.

There is a vero layout on dirtboxlayouts.blogspot.com. I am tempted to build it but the offboard wiring is pretty intense. It's pretty low parts count just lots of wires going from switches to pots to switches to jacks. I am curious about the Evil Eye. Looks like a tonebender type something er other

I think it's not as bad as it sounds. Two 3PDT footswitches, then two pots and one DPDT switch. It's complicated with the two 3PDT's, but part of the wiring is just "normal" 3PDT bypass wiring (looks like same wiring scheme as in the PPCB docs). Might take some time to do the wiring steps one by one carefully so you don't make a mistake, but I think it looks more daunting than it really is.

Of course that's still a lot of wires, but still.

Edit: Well like it says, it's a Meathead and an Electra in one enclosure, so thus the two bypass footswitches. Just two pots and one switch between them otherwise.
 
Ya im gonna go ahead and do this one on vero. I'm addicted to vero. I need to buy bigger spools of wire hahaha. I couldnt find any layouts for the Evil Eye. the Swampass Lord seems pretty straightforward muff stuff
 
I'm pretty sure this is what the wiring should look like. Should look very familiar to PPCB customers.

I'm running the ground from the fuzz 3pdt to the burn 3pdt just to preserve the input jack star grounding, but i don't really know how crucial it is. Heck, run it to the out ground, or, since I'm PtoPing it, I could just solder it to the enclosure.

[edit for posterity: if anyone is using my drawing to clarify the wiring situation, you may have noticed that the caps/dpdt switch wiring doesn't correspond at all. See my build pic below.]

not how the original pedal was wired, though, in point of fact. Not sure it matters, though.
looks like they are running the ground back through the other 3pdt.

I'm sure it doesn't matter, though.

[Edit: gut shot of the original:]

Here you go, folks.

PtP is fun, even if mine looks like ass, it functions very well.

I just cannot make a pretty p to p. [edit: if I had to do it over again, I would build the two circuits separately, situate them/fold them to fit, and *then* put in the grounds and off-board wiring. This one has some funky connections with the switch. I was overly concerned with having enough...
