Cornish Buffer:

It's on FSB.org though.
It just sounds like a Klon Buffer to me.

Washes your tone in srcumpy cider and clotted cream!

Mike, No idea how long it'll take for you to get there but can I put a firm dibs on number 666 (because I am a whimsical twat)?
Whether that's 2 weeks from now or 2 years. In fact if it's a while that will give me time to come up with something interesting and find a cool image for it.
Christ I sometimes wonder if I'm really 36.
Whaddaya reckon? Possible? If so I'll happily pay a deposit, or if we firm up the whole thing I'll gladly pay up front regardless of the actual turnaround time.

Amazing! I'll look through this thread and your website for idea. I'm open to any ideas on the build too so if there's anything different you've been wanting an excuse to have a go at I'm all ears. Paging Dr Benecol re: preposterously devilish graphics

Just a buffer, gives you bad treble if you have long cables.

"Back", or an incredibly self-deprecating sales pitch?

rob it's a real thing, I used to have two 10' cables and a board of true bypass pedals, sounded so crap when I moved from a buffeted tuner to a true bypass one.
Chances are every bad you see uses a boss tu-2 tuner - a buffer

Favourite Switch for a Strymon Pedal
4 in/4 out pedalboard patchbay
The latter gives you MAD TONE

You're pulling our legs. From what I've read you only get MAD TONE if you use NOS pre-CBS tweed covered wire, not that CIC PVC-covered stuff..
How do you or your client plan to use that patch?

it's for a customer, I think it's basically a single place to plug in the leads to the Guitar, Amp, and Send/Return of the Amp's FX loop. Probably for neatness more than anything else. I've built a couple of these now.
You're right, it needs SPICEBOX wire

Rub A Rub Reverb (toggle to place pre or post Overdrive)

Saltbooster
All effects independently switchable.
Pain in the arse to build!
