It was Fredo's idea, the legend. Stewart designed it.

Every day that goes by without it arriving safely there is a dagger in my heart.

Probably a cheeky request, and feel free to shoot me down, but would you be willing to share your layout for the BOR Mike? I've found a few funky layouts if you want to trade or something.

It's not cheeky at all mate. I used one I found online, but I jigged the spacing a bit to fit into those small boxes. This is the original I found online.

If you're viewing a pot from the bottom (as you'll be wiring it mounted in the case) with the lugs pointing downwards. Then left->right they are numbered 1, 2, 3 according to this nomenclature.
Careful with your Diode polarities.

mike, you must have crafty hands to make these fit in such a small case, first thing i did was open it up to gander at it and oh my fuck it is cramped
the thing sounds amazing and it's never leaving my board, if you like rock then get it, the end

Mike you're awesome! If you wanna check out cramped try fitting this phase 90 layout into a standard mxr sized box, doubt it will fit...

No problem.

Go for it, I'm sure you'll nail it. The most tricky part is getting the case marked up and drilled, but those pictures should help.

i'm totally not kidding! i think it would be awesome. and it'd be completely up to you what you make. like a blank canvas. i just want rude and profane knob setting titles. :)

Jimmy already had plent of mental fuzz me thinks.

How about:

pussy fart fuzzface or

Dick stuck in mouth pedal (which just makes everything sound really muffled

or curse of the irish tremolo that makes everything sound like a drunken irishmen cursing.....
They say great minds think alike....Sometimes we do too...
