CONTEST Tube Screaming Tuesdays

CONTEST
This likely won't win me the contest, but this is as good a place as any to show what I'm putting together and ask for feedback about if I've got it set up correctly in a place or two.

This is my (near-completion) Danae build. I've gone half-way with Vemuram's non-labeling and just used simple graphics a-la old Orange stuff to label the pots. It also has, stuffed up under the PPCB board between the 3PDT and the clipping switches a rotary switch diode select mod.

I've added a Sidetrak-style alternate effects loop (the 3pdt sends signal through a set of send/return jacks when the effect is off and there's something plugged in to the send; signal goes straight from send tip to return tip for true bypass if nothing is plugged in to the loop).

About the diode-select mod... (see layout picture) if anyone can confirm for me that I've got the hookup wires for things placed correctly that would be great; I've been thinking about how it should go for days and my brain is close to exploding.

The last picture is an example of what the rotary selector mod will sorta look like; it's one I've done for another build I'm working on, but the concept is the same (obviously those leads will need to be trimmed; I didn't want to start cutting things off until I've finalized how I'm going to do it).

*EDIT* Oh yeah, one more thing! I've got an RGB LED for the indicator with the blue and green cathodes soldered together so that when the effect is on it will show blue-green and then when it's off it will light up red. I may also work out a way to make it so that the red only turns on if there's a jack plugged into the send, so it's a visual indicator of the loop being active vs. the LED just being off if it's in true bypass mode.

On the note of help with this rotary mod, here's a representation of where I've (hypothetically) hooked things up drawn onto the schematic. Will this work like I think it will?

Can you say more about the artwork?

I took the artwork from a creator on deviantart; he released it with a creative commons share alike license, so his maker's mark is still on it as well. If I were planning to sell it I would have used something different for the artwork, but this one is intended to go on my personal board.
😎



I printed, at the highest resolution my printer can manage, in color on white vinyl and then added clear coat as a sealer and lacquer over that.

Here's a link to the original: https://www.deviantart.com/oleglevashov/art/Skulls-and-Mushrooms-vector-source-489224684
