What’s on *YOUR* workbench?

Finally boxing my Dream Fuzz. I have a work in progress faceplate so maybe this will come together in the next couple weeks. Fingers crossed I have no issues.

Edit: I got access to a drill press today and drilled pilot holes for a few upcoming builds. The drill press makes this process soooooo much easier and like 200% more accurate than a hand drill.
 
Prototyping a sort of "shield", à la Arduino, for my Rock Engine. Will go onboard my guitar, replacing its retired predecessor Shockman. The little toggles turn on/off the distortion, chorus and delay. The 3 green pots are the delay controls. Blue pot is the headphones volume. Jacks are for the phones and aux in.

05/30 Update: the shield worked great on the 1st try! Maybe I'll make it into a proper PCB. Or maybe not. Almost nobody wants onboard stuff. Belt packs anyone? Altoid tins? Anything that's not a pedal?
Oops, wrong site? :geek:

Friends of mine love it and hate it. I haven't made up my mind yet. It's like, you've got three duals in there, some OD/TS/D topology lite, plus a Si fuzz(?)… it's mad.

I do like its tone control, though. Very nice.
Turns out breadboarding whilst sleep-deprived leads to errors.

Rebuilt it with a fresh head and after navigating some touching component leads got the actual intended sound.

I kinda like it.

Swapping out the 100k distortion pot with 500k gives me more control (don't have a 250k for some reason…) so I'll keep that option open
 
After a month away and what seems like a month sorting components, getting back to the iron feels good.
Replaced bad jack in my SRX505 and fitting some new matching knobs (I added one when I installed the dark glass tone capsule a while back -- highly recommend!)

They're solid black aluminums from Ali. I filled in the dimple with chrome marker.
