Okay. Eagle says the PCB layout and the schematic are consistent with no errors. :)

And here is a bad clip of the breadboarded one I just put together:

http://www.box.net/shared/xkvtdj4ohm

Tele bridge pickup --> Thing Modulator --> Carvin X100B clean channel

There's some noise which can be attributed to the breadboard sitting unshielded out in the open. A finished pedal would be quiet.

I'll be ordering the PCBs in a few days. The kits will be $50, and I'm taking pre-orders to ease the initial financial burden! PM me for my PayPal address and get on the priority list!

I'm working with nbabmf on the circuit boards, and I can assure everyone that they are top-quality: plated through-holes, solder mask on both sides, nice white silk screen. :thumb:

I added pads for a volume pot. And a new name that reminds me of what it sounds like (to me):

Culturejam did a little tinkering this weekend, and the kit will now have a trim pot enabling users to adjust the power supply for output and tonal variation!

I am still taking pre-orders. The kits are $50 and include everything to build a really wild pedal! PM me for payment info.

50 bucks for a whole kit is a good deal. you should post this in the for sale section too (if you already haven't).
