That looks really great. What do you guys use to have the LED coming up through the pot?

Good job! That looks pretty great. Pretty creative getting all those different boards working together, too.

lol, those graphics are fantastic. I too, am giggling uncontrollably in front of coworkers.

Here is mine, a Weener Wah II in a Vox volume pedal shell. One of these days I'm going to go back and add an LED, and a switch for multiple inductors.

I've had a good night's sleep and a chance to get over myself, so here's the deal:

The weekly maintenance is causing the forum to crash. This is a combination of table repairs/optimizations that smf automatically does. I do not know why. I had re-scheduled it to happen in the wee hours hoping that it would work okay during lower traffic. I even got up at 3am Sunday to do a back-up just before the maintenance.

The forum crashed and my back-up turned out to be corrupted (a specific type of error which is beyond my capability of fixing). So, it was coming down to a choice of either 1) hiring someone who knows sql to fix the problem 2) spending who knows how long trying to fix it myself or 3) load the next good backup from two days earlier. I went with option 3 because the other two meant the forum would be down for days.

Steps I'm taking to prevent further problems - I've removed all automated maintenance tasks so this specific error should not happen again and I will continue to make frequent backups. Removing the maintenance is not ideal...the tables need occasional optimization and so on. But, it at least solves the immediate issue. Longer term, I'm going to have to either bone up and learn some sql and PHPAdmin or at least have someone who can do it for me when issues arise. For now, the immediate cause of the problem has been dealt with AFAIK, so please continue posting!

Don't feel too bad, at least you're getting it handled! To make you feel a little better, when I first started running the forum that I do admin stuff for, I accidentally deleted a whole section of forum instead of just merging it into a new one. That was quite embarassing 

Lee, these were all awesome. Your builds have been a huge source of inspiration, keep it up. They're all fantastic.

I really like the xwing graphic, that is awesome. 

As to what these guys said ^

I'm fairly new and I missed you guys already.  Thanks for getting it back up and running. All the data loss sucks, but its not impossible for it to all come back. Pretty easy to remake any important threads!
