+1 on the center punch. If not that then at least the hammer and nail method, but for under $10 I would get the center punch.

I think that you would be better off looking at this.

To add a volume control replace the 100K resistor with a 100K audio pot. I do this on all my SHOs, makes them useful to me. There was a whole thread at FSB or DIYstomp on how two SHOs were a Super duper and four were something else. Poke around there, it was interesting reading.

Which do you want, wired or wireless? How much do you want to spend? A Shure WL93 is an inexpensive omni that works with their beltpacks. It also can be attached to a preamp and used wired. But a lapel mic is only really good for the wearer and maybe someone else really close. What exactly are you trying to capture?

this is a great question. I usually use my drill fails for the boxes I do for myself. it seems to me you could use some JB Weld to fill the hole, sand it down and try again. i'm going to do a little experiment with that idea tomorrow, and i'll letcha know how it turns out!

I use JB Weld to fill misdrilled holes to often. I tape the inside , fill the hole, smooth the outside and let dry. Then I sand and paint, or at least I plan on painting more of my enclosures.

I have an 80's Crybaby that I am working these mods on: http://www.wah-wah.co.uk/diy.html I am doing them one at a time so I know what I like and can undo it. So far the vocal mod is cool but I need to tweek where the pot lines up with the gear.

PPP does do top mount jacks: http://www.pedalpartsplus.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=PPP&Product_Code=1067&Category_Code=DRI You should just ask about the dc jack.

The build is from Sabro Tone.

Good site for vero.

The SWAW is great. It is the filter I use the most for rhythm guitar, great sounds with chords. The Nurse Quacky is cool but has a bit of a volume loss. I built mine with a LPB board running into it and find it fairly flexible. You can get a good range of sounds from it.

I have fixed a bunch of misdrilled holes with JB Weld and it has worked well.

The easiest, but not cheapest way, to get the levels right is to use a reamper. Feed out an aux, reamper to delay and back to the board. However it would probably be cheaper to find a used rack delay with a tap tempo and bypass jack and use that.

God, how I am supposed to get thru work today? Oh yeah, hang out here.

I have had better luck with complicated vero then some complicated PCBs  I have done. Now perf is something I am scared to try .

What do you consider "unsuable" gain? It will not be the same as using a log taper, it will just make the total pot value smaller.

Early you said that a linear would be better. I have a linear and before I solder it in I am trying to figure out if I should add the resistor. I have not done this yet and my track record for desoldering in not exactly great .

A linear would be better; a reverse audio is ideal. I decided to simply reverse the pot's action since I didn't have a 1MC lying around. Now about 2/3 of the pot's travel is useful. I think even better would be to use a RA taper and a 4.7M across it. This would make it an 825K pot with about 90% of the sweep being in the usable range.

So if I have a linear taper pot and put a 4.7M across the legs will I get close to a usable gain?
