Here is my new neutrino. It sounds great. It's a little hummy (especially with single coils) but it's cool. The white knob was not intentional. The 3rd black one I got from Mammoth had a stripped set screw so I grabbed the only one I had laying around. Thanks again to Brian for the great board and all the forum members for answering the endless questions.

and the insides:

Wow, really cool looking.
Great job Keith! Looks great! I know that single coils will hum anyways, but you might wanna try tying up both input and output sleeves so that the output is grounded as well.
I know the output is being grounded with the enclosure already, but it doesn't hurt to tie it up to the common ground, thus eliminating ground loops :)
This may or not reduce your hum, but heck, it's just a wire, it's worth a shot right? ;)

Great job. Decal looks good and very clean insides!
Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. I made a conscious effort to clean up the wiring this time without going too crazy.

Yes, I did it and I think it might have helped. I used the LP with P90's on it just now it's only evident when you aren't playing. With the distortion at 11 o'clock, it's got a right nasty snarl to it. I like it alot. Thanks as always for the tip.
I remember your first build like if it was yesterday, and man, congrats!
You build like a pro ;)
Thanks, Julien, I appreciate that. It's a killer hobby and it's made so much better by having a great community around to help and encourage you.
I have some more projects queued up so I 'spose I should get working
"Is This It" by The Strokes for the graphics? not a bad album.

Is it on a Strokes record? I found it on a science site. It's the tracks of an early neutrino experimental collision. I just thought it looked cool.

That's what I thought when I first saw it lol
Excellent job though! I like the white knob, in fact I'd probably make all 3 white lol
Of course, this is the real cover to 'Is This It'

Great pedal! Love the graphics!

Fantastic look, inside and out. I especially like the names you gave the controls.
One question: I really like the ribbon cable you used and haven't been able to find any like that. Have a link where I can find it?

Thanks. The cable is solid core from regular old Radio Shack. It comes as 4 and I strip off the white (which you can see being used elsewhere) Other than giving it the festive Christmas look, it keeps things organized for me and forces neatness where I am not otherwise likely to have any.
The names are the properties of neutrinos. A quick google search took care of that.
