I found a dude in the UK on ebay that has em.

Occasionally a dude in the US that has small lots of the same ones for sale as well, I'll see if I can remember their names.

I dislike tagboard, but my experience was that the pedal didn't work and I had way too many components and solder connections to tell where it wasn't working :idk: I'll take printed PCBs or well thought out perfboard any day over tagboard.

Edit: links to images to illustrate what I'm talking about:

I did a scrambler once on eyelet and that was an issue, I also didn't use an audio probe at the time. I feel that eyelet/turret/tag is the easiest to troubleshoot with it.

That and I enjoy doing layouts. :idk:

I used a mix of mojo and modern components. Tropical fish input and output caps, ceramic box caps for coupling, WIMA film box caps for the tone stack, LEDs in one of the clipping stages for more OOMPH. I'm a a convert to component composition choice. Blecch say that 5 times fast.

I love the smell of solder in the morning.

Madbean Pork Barrel (Boss CE-2 clone), v2 board with the mods for pitch vibrato, wetter modulation, and deeper frequency response for bass.

I don't think I've ever built something with so many freakin' wires. Oh wait... yeah... Craig Anderton's ring modulator was much crazier.

Can you explain this a bit more. I really like the outcome. I had something similar when I baked rutoleum a little to long but its hard to replicate consistently.

I sprayed a fat layer of green hammerite paint, a fat layer of baby blue paint, and then a fat layer of green hammerite on top. All while it was all still wet so it mixed together. I was totally just messing around on a spare bottom plate that was primed and laying around and it turned out pretty cool.

Just experiment with stuff man if you don't like it you can sand it off.

I tried replicating that finish today and I'm thinking that may have been a one time thing...
