No split in my thinking, as saving some time on a build is totally different than trying to acquire a new professional skill.

I'll make sure to post some pictures of the Kokbox in action at one of our shows.

However, that's probably it, since I seem to get crap every time I post here.

I'm off to go practice music, and run in the woods; have fun tinkering guys(/girls?).

Oh yeh, the KokBox will probably get used on one of our upcoming releases, so I'll make a blurb about this site, if you are nice.

OK, since several posts have been made accusing me of "trying to get other people to do my work", I will respond, so we can get over this.
My intention in asking for parts links was not to send someone on a time consuming journey.
Since links to some parts are included in some project pdfs, I thought some one may have a list from a previous build.
That is all.
I just thought that it might save me some time.

On the note of EE: if you are designing pedals, you are up to your neck in EE, like it or not.

Better get the Aspirin!!!

Oh, thanks to Mad Bean for bearing that cross for me!

Ok, so I may be chastised thoroughly for this but here goes:

1. Get a college textbook on basic electronics , learn the basic: voltage dividers, time constants etc., then move on to circuit analysis.
2. Familiarize yourself with schematics of various guitar effects, and their building blocks.
3. Rearrange the building blocks into the shapes of your choosing.

There are no shortcuts to becoming an electrical engineer. If you really want to be a designer, there will be dues paid, devices smoked, and headaches acquired.

I know that everyone wants an easy answer; EE is an lifetime dedication.

Thanks, I appreciate the parts help.
Yeh, Mouser Sucks for a lot of stuff, but it's a vendor that everyone knows.
The reason I build instead of buy is simple: quality. I don't see any reason to give companies top dollar for crappy products.
I can't wait to play with the Kokbox, the lack of source resistors is interesting, and reminiscent of the Shredmaster, in that it squares the wave pretty hard.(Even though the Shred uses a CMOS chip to achive its gain)
Anyway it's gonna be fun.

BTW, who is the genius saving me from etching my own pcbs, or using *yuk* perfboard? The circuit board I bought looks pretty high quality, and what attracted me here was the quality of designs that they work on. So who(m)ever is responsible, thanks!

Ok, fair enough.
I Just thought that since someone else here had already built this, they might have their part info still.
It's fun to build things, but I am building this for a working band, not just for fun!
I have a couple specific questions:
1. Do I use 1/8 or 1/4 watt resistors for this?
2. Is the cap spacing 5mm?
3. How do I get my "Diode Destroyer" Rating Changed; it's embarrassing.

I'm not really a noob, but I'm new to this forum. I was wondering if anyone can help me with some links to mouser parts for the Kokbox. I have a lot to do, and it would save me some time. Besides, I would do it for you!
