Yeah, I mean something "Vox" like.

In that case, I'm definitely interested.

When you say "British", does that mean Marshall or Vox?

What do they call that finish? I kinda want one now.

A Ringtone would be pretty awesome and exciting, but how about a "normal" ring mod pedal as well? (I mean, one without a step sequencer.) Maybe something like Craig Anderton's ring mod from Electronics Projects for Musicians, the one that everyone says is impossible to build because of a discontinued chip?

I second the Sabertooth. You can destroy cities with that thing!

This is a long shot, but on the Sabertooth I built for a friend of mine, I had a similar problem - turned out one of the pot legs had rotated when I screwed it in and was touching the LED bezel and shorting out. A little heat shrink solved that problem.

No idea if this helps you at all, but sometimes it's the little things that make you go "derp".

I'm not gonna lie - I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of your Avengers-themed pedals. Excelsior!

That sounds great! Looking forward to seeing those pages.

Just wanted to say I think this is a great idea. I'm not familiar with a lot of the boutique stuff either, and this would be pretty helpful. (I know there's always Google, but why not save a step?)

Hm...maybe I'll build mine in a 1590BB size, if you're finding the layout cramped.

Wow, fantastic job fitting everything - any chance you have a drilling template to share for this? I'd like to build one of these myself (with a battery, like yours) in the near future.

Right, that'll teach me to stop trying to think about wiring in the middle of the night. Thanks for the explanations!

Actually, there's still something I'm not quite grasping. If there's nothing connected to the input sleeve, how is the input grounded when the effect is engaged? Or is there just an obvious explanation that I'm missing because it's really late at night?

Thanks Brian - that all makes a lot of sense to me. (Funny how things right in front of your nose become clear once someone explains them.)

I'll try this way on my next build!

Looking at the PDF documentation for most of these projects, I've noticed that they use a wiring method I've never seen before. Granted, the only other pedals I've built have been kits from BYOC, but their method makes sense to me, and I'm not experienced enough with this to really understand what's going on in the Madbean wiring method.

I guess my question is, is there a particular benefit to wiring using the method in the documentation versus the BYOC method? Is it just personal preference?

And, if someone has the time, could you break down what's actually going on in the Madbean method? I'd really appreciate knowing why it works. Thanks!
