Here's the completed Moodring build. I am really happy with the effect. I am less happy with sanding off the edges of the artwork and not being more careful with where I put the jacks. But, it fits and it works...so good enough for DIY.

I did wire this one up as non-true-bypass. Switching the reverb on and off is completely silent and the reverb decays over the clean signal when turned off. Just what I wanted. One thing I did not think all the way through is that in NTB wiring, the dry kill..uhh...kills your signal completely! This just means you cannot use the dry kill on the fly. Not an issue with true bypass wiring though. Maybe I can think of a solution for that using a DPDT with the dry kill. I'll see.

Must. Have. Soundclips.  :P

+2 for the soundclip! I especially want to hear the "reverb decays over the clean signal when turned off." One thing I've found that's kind of funny is that 3P3T switches have gotten so cheap and common these days, we use them even when we don't need to. I have a couple builds the same way :)

Sleek & classy. Sweetness.

I'll do a video demo on Monday. I think I figured out the dry kill issue, too. Just need to wire the switch in parallel to the 3pdt so it shorts on bypass. Woohoo!

Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

damn, that looks like another must-build to add to the list. looking forward to the demo.
Once again, excellent job Brian! I hope you know how much we all appreciate your efforts for the DIY community.

Parallel the dry kill switch with the unused pole on the stomp -- so that when the pedal is in Bypass, the stomp also connects the previously open Dry Kill.

Killer build :)
