Pedal PCB Pro-Filter (AKA Anderton's Super Tone Control)
Good LORD this one was a PITA.... (no one's fault buy my own...)
Not a hard pedal at all, but if you don't follow a mature order of operations you can really screw things up (see below for more)
This is super fun. Of course, I don't have a Wah so there's that...
I ended up wiring the marble on this like 3 different ways. There just Isn't any room under the board and the switch sits right to the north of it, so I ended up settling on the dual LED board hugging wire tree. Two Cyan LED's (very cool freaking color I found at Mouser) lit from either side. The picture doesn't do it justice.
The etching on this one was ferric chloride.
This will be the pedal I remember as being pivotal in breaking me of the bad habit of soldering my pots to the board before fitting it in the enclosure.
That damn little PCB shim behind the Frequency pot damn near ended me... destroyed the Volume pot cranking it down to the enclosure.
In fact, it has cause me to completely change how I prepare for the enclosure build and has broken me of several bad habits.
Forevermore, I will

- Print, fold, and mark up a drill guide
- Determine and mark the center of the guide
- Determine and mark center of the enclosure
- Center my guide on my enclosure
- Measure everything from the center of the enclosure, not the edges (measure twice, drill once)
- Use the ACTUAL drill guide for the design
- Drill my enclosure before etching
- Locate and wire for marble lighting before I finish the rest of the pedal
