At last, now I have a Testing Rig, too! :)

Hey guys! Really excited with this one, as I will be building a lot of circuits in the next days (overdrives, mostly) to try out and pick the one (or two) I like the most. It also features an integrated breadboard for prototyping little circuits! 

It was an easy build and the results are great (at least, for me  ). I used a 125BB-sized box, which I designed and had the local "Metal Man" (I don't know how to say this in English! ) to build them for me. He also built a couple of 1790D-sized boxes. It's really cheap per box this way, so I think I'll have him make some 125B ones (or maybe 1590A, if he can make it this small!)

By the way, you'll see the "Effects Den" sign. I say it's the name for my pedal "company", even if I don't have one or ever have.  It's not trademarked, so I hope someone won't steal it.  As for where does the name comes from, the Assasins' Creed players will know. It comes from the Assasins' Dens, the Assasins' headquarters in each neighbourhood. Yeah, I love this game!

Also, the little "flower" (let's say..) is something I draw when I was 10 or 11 years old. I saw it recently in an old notebook and really liked it. So, I scanned it, threw it in Inkscape and make a digital version of it, which I can now edit. I think this flower is gonna be in every one of my next builds. I have a somewhat emotional connection with it. And it looks cool too!

For you wondering why I left so much empty space, I'm going to build a tone generator to test the circuits without having to use a guitar. It adds to the whole cable mess!

I hope you like it, as much as I do.

Wow Hector, that's a pretty looking testing rig.

clean simple and looking great great job

Wow Hector, that's a pretty looking testing rig.

yeah, probably the nicest looking one around. That flower is awesome!

Thanks! Hearing that from you, the man who - in my opinion - makes the best pedals around the DIY scene..

Glad you like it! Yes, I think the flower is awesome too. I'm really impressed how this drawing came down, as I was never a good painter. 

Thanks!

That is is great testing rig, and you'll probably need the room inside for an utility board or two. I tried to fit a Wicked Switch on vero inside my own testing rig made with a 1590B, it took almost all the available space

Practical, well laid out--and it looks great. I have a feeling you keep a tidy work space, just by looking at that.

Thanks! It's indeed really practical and I took my time to think how I should make the layout.

But you got wrong the second one. It's really a mess right now after building this, but I intend to clear it up for the upcoming builds!
