its not pretty lesson well learned, lets just say that. Once I debugged it I rushed it in the case like a mad man. I'll get one up, if anything for then/now pics.
the next one will get the leads twisted and tied off nicely, and some of that double sided tack to secure the board. We have a huge roll of them at work to secure random signs to fixtures.
Not too bad at all for one of your first pedals from scratch.
The secret to wiring is to always attach flying leads to the board and then cut them down to the right length when wiring up in the case, that way you end up with no excess wire and it's nice and neat. Heatshrink is useful for bunching leads to pots etc.
I did attach all of the leads before hand but I didnt make those long enough. I was a bit skint on wire so I think I took it easy. I picked up a 3 colour pack of 22 gauge solid core wire, about 100'
Just ordered parts for a Wooly Mamoth. I'll be making this one for my dad for christmas. Should thuuuuump with his bass amp, a acoustic b200 w/ a 15" speaker
Built a "Its cool, I'm in Mastodon" board today. Getting some black paint tonight along with a christmas tree and lights!!! I didn't source any .22uf caps so I wired two .1uf's in series. I also ordered some PT2399 chips, going to build a chorus and maaayyyybe an echo base seeing as how mike loves his so much. Pretty excited as I found a lot of the echo chips on ebay, 5 for $4.99 plus free shipping
Pics hopefully tonight of the "Its cool, I'm in Mastodon" pedal if I can make progress after christmassin it up
edit: fucking cold and windy, no chance of spraying anything tonight

That's a 0.05uF Cap you just made.
You'll want to have wired them in Parallel. Capacitance adds in Parallel and divides in Series. Also you don't really want to mess about with that kind of caper with Electrolytics, for future reference.
I realized that last night as well. They were 0.1uf panasonic caps, not electrolitics. My short dealings with the electrolitics in my bassman taught me not to monkey with those devils. Thanks for the pro tip
I'm probably way ahead of myself but I'm going to try a simple pt2399 based chorus and maybe a simplified echo base (true bypass instead of the tails/buffer) and an optical trem based off a cmos555 ic.
Ya'll are gunna flip shit on how i'm finishing my enclosures, just sayin. Finished the fine details on a Mammoth fuzz for a christmas present, just need to clear coat this thing which is really going to make it POP.
My JESUS this sounds good with my P-Rail'd Tele tuned to A standard. SO HUGE.
For lady haze's little brother who has started to play bass. Digs Muse, of course.

sorry bro, my browser "Opera" has always resized them.
and the finish may be my little secret, but you can get everything needed at wallmart, and they even give one of the tools for free when you buy something!
