From my spring contest entry:
"Razzle Dazzle"
It is a Zero Point DD/Galacticon Phase Shifter/Rub-A-Dub Reverb 3-in-1
I am timbo_93631







clearanced center screw boss:


I have built a few pedals with the Galacticon on the repeats of a ZPDD or pre/post that have been in the regular build reports, this is an expanded version that includes a Rub-A-Dub.  The rotary switch on the right assigns the Galacticon to the repeats or pre/post delay with an additional toggle and it is footswitchable.  The rotary on the left assigns the rub-a-dub to the repeats or post delay and it is always on.  The ZPDD has been modded for trails bypass following midwayfair's shunt bypass method, and the Galacticon has a phase/vibe mod and a 50k blend pot labeled "nature" on the controls.
The ZPDD also has the feedback and slam controls on a momentary 3PDT so you can dial in the speed that it slips into self oscillation.  Clip to follow.

SWITCHING MADNESS!

Awesome job Tim. I can't wait for the demo.

Wow! How do you keep up with the same color wiring? Amazing!

Great looking build! I love the finish on the box, dremel etching? Very neat wiring too! I just finished a two in one with that same wire but mine looks like the spaghetti factory blew the f' up ;D

Amazing wiring, really.  I can't imagine how long it took to do that.

Very nice build.

Awesome! That's one I would want to fire up on the first try. I wouldn't want to troubleshoot it!

Beautiful!

Dude. This build would be impressive enough if you just had the three circuits in there, but this switching is some next-level business.

That's pretty sweet man!
Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

I just go one wire at a time and do all the switching wiring and jacks first, then the boards and pots, then LED's and power.

Maybe 3 hours on wiring alone, about 10 hours total for the build.  I wanted to do the verb and phase on rotaries completely without any additional toggles, but that would require a 6P3T rotary to make all the bypass connections on the delay line and I didn't find one that would easily fit the depth of the 1590DD.  The ones I found might work in a 1790.  Anyhow, I lie awake in bed more than a few times trying to visualize the switching before I realized 4P3T's were only going to be good for repeats/standalone and not repeats, pre/post delay so they are set as 4PDT's for repeats/standalone and an additional 3PDT toggle for order when the phase rotary is in the standalone position.

Oh I like that. I don't like multi's that don't serve a specific purpose. These effects however complement each other in order to give a cohesive and specific sound. The control layout is spot on and not overly complicated, considering how complicated it actually is on the inside. Finished well. Excellent demo (loving the psychedelia).

Spectacular sir.

yeah, absolutely, what he said!! Not only is the enclosure a work of art but THAT wiring is incredible. I'm sure I would have had a nervous breakdown attempting that! Pass the parmesan, please :)
