The guys are going to get a kick out of it I'm sure. I'm going to play it this week, then dismantle it and spray it with Chico's booster and start finishing it. I'll fix the solder joints and upgrade the jacks to Switchcrafts when I rehouse it afterwards.

Nice. Make sure you let us have your review of the pedal tomorrow.

are you using lead-free solder? is it more prone to cold solder joints?
i don't think i've ever had an issue with cold solder joints, but i use lead-full solder.

yes i am and not its not.

the lead free solder isnt prone to cold joints, it just looks grainy and dull when it cools because of the absence of lead. its mostly tin and silver. theres no real way to get a lead free solder joint to be as shiny and wet looking as tin lead solder, so its whatever.
