Hi everybody,
I have an admission to make; my board is currently devi-less. I know I need to fix this, but I want to do it in a big way and need some advice. I have in my possession 3 devi DIY kits from the ETSY store, a disaster fuzz (DF and PL kit), an SM kit and a TP kit.
What I was thinking of doing is building all three kits into one enclosure, with each one being individually switchable. I know each kit can be built a variety of ways, but I wanted it to go; INPUT -> YEAR OF THE RAT -> TP/ANEMIA (switchable as there is only 1 resistor change) -> DISASTER FUZZ -> OUTPUT.
Now, the questions I have for you beautiful people-
1) Do you guys think this would be a good use of the kits? I know I could build them individually and dot them around my chain but it just makes for more patch cables and power supplies. I like stacking high gain fuzzes on lower gain fuzzes, which is why I thought this would be good. I'd love any thoughts though.
2) If I draw up a plan in MS Paint (or similar) is there anyone who could help me figure out the wiring? I've build a few pedals in the past, but I think I may need some help on this one...
As I say, anyone with any input is totally welcome. If you think this is a terrible plan, just tell me why! If you think it's a great plan, join me and build one too!
Please help a Devi-less brother out, I needs mo' fuzz.

Re: Devi multi-fuzz advice
Build the circuits as if they're there own pedals. The only difference is that they'll all share a DC jack and the wires that would usually go to the jacks will now be going to the next footswitch.
I'm not a fan of multiple circuits in one box, but you basically laid out the pros and cons, soooo.

Re: Devi multi-fuzz advice
you save money on 4 jacks so $8 right there. putting them in one 1590DD saves about $16. if it was me, I would not use them all at the same time so I dont see how having them in one box is really a big problem.
the wiring is not any different than it would be for one pedal. the output of the footswitch goes to the input of the next footswitch. the last footswitch goes to the tip of the out jack. I would suggest not putting a battery in it.
