Change your footswitch wiring scheme to FX input grounded when bypassed, or through in a pulldown resistor on that steez. Get rid of that nasty pop.

Yeah the shin-ei does have a pop. Will chuck in pulldown resistor to sort that shizz.

I prefer grounded input as it's sexy and one less 1M resistor. Do you want me to knock up a DPDT diagram for it?

Tbh that'd probably screw-up the millenium bypass switching, but taaa.

Lemme check.

Yeah that ain't gonna work. 3PDT or pulldown.
Millenium is stupid.

I really like the Shin-ei Tim - another one to add to my wishlist of frederic products.

Nah it rocks. I can use better quality, cheaper switches that are easy to get hold of. Couple of pulldown resistors on certain designs is small price to pay.

I do a lot of complicated stuff with 3DPTs that I could not live without.
I get them in bulk from effectsconnection.com these days with DC jacks and they're cheap and good quality.

Designed new boards for the harmonic percolators today! There's two versions, one with Millenium bypass and one without.

I like the flowers. Very pretty.

Mikhail made a Harmonic Percolator using my layout. It looks awesome with the Russian writing:
I've been making these this week. Custom Grumbly Wolves with expression input to control the freq of the ring mod.
They're like:
MXR Dist Pluses (with si/ge switch) --> LM567CN pseudo ring mod --> LP1 booster
Controls:
Gain, Volume, Frequency (stompers for bypass and ring mod effect)

^ they look pretty fancy.

Who are you using for parts suppliers these days, Tim-Tim?

Few different ones:
Goodwillsales on ebay for resistors
Fullspeedit on ebay for rubber feet
Hongkongsuperseller on ebay for knobs
Farnell for neutrik jacks
Rapid for enclosures and LEDs
Bitsbox for caps, switches, wire, solder
Smallbear for tricky NOS parts and pots
Musicding for pots
Maplin for fibreglass boards and etching supplies
Pedalpartsplus for 3pdt switches
Phew that's a lotta different suppliers. I've been buying in bulk so I'm sure this is cheaper than getting stuff from one place.

Cheers bud, the bolded ones will help me out as I've just lost my 3PDT and jacks supplier to the mists of the internet.
Didn't know Farnell did Neutrik's - awesome, are Rapid cheapest for Enclosures? I've been getting them from bitsbox because they ship so fast and so cheap. I hate Rapid - their website never works for me and I have to order over the phone.
