Thanks. I actually haven't decided yet. There are a few things I'm debating between. It was more my ocd need to have the drilling be symmetrical than a necessity.

Actually, what the hell is the 3rd knob doing on the EB side????

It's just a different layout. Two knobs each, and one mod switch. Like so:

Fixed the paint imperfection along the top edge last night and started wiring it up. Probably be done with it today.

great job. this is looking like a sweet build

Awww, I see now, duh dying to see and hear how you get on with this! This has been on my ever-growing to-do-list for a while now

Finished the thing last night, worked beautifully. Decided to do some tweaking, got crazy radio noise, put it back how it was, still crazy radio noise. So angry.

if your wires are really long and just stuffed in there, that could happen. do you have any un used holes in the enclosure? my only suggestion is to use a cut up guitar cable, its shielded.

The wires are as short as they can be to get to where they need to go. It isn't super neat, but it's fairly so. And I'm using shielded wire for each circuit's input.

I should have just left it alone when I finished it. It worked perfect before.

What tweaking did you do when you opened it back up the first time??

I added in an additional circuit that would mix in some simple fuzz when the switch was flipped. Ended up being too gated though, so I just took it out. It's actually after I took it out that I started getting interference.

check all your connections. if you dont see something bad, just heat each one with the iron to fix any broken solder joints, even if you cant see it or test it.

Tank Girl graphics? Nice!

You put the lid back on the enclosure after messing with it, right?

If you're getting radio noise, you could put a small resistor (like 100 ohms) and a tiny capacitor to ground at the input. That should help stop it.

Sometimes it just happens, though, depending on where you are. I've noticed that my house in... quieter... some days than others.

My apartment is on the top floor of my building, and I tend to get worse interference than other people get. I'm going to have one of my friends test it at his apartment also to see if that's the issue. How exactly do you mean the the resistor and cap? At the board in (if that is the case then at each circuit or just one)? And in series or parallel?

At the input of whichever is the first one. You put the 100 ohm resistor in series with the input, and the small cap (100pF, I think?) goes to ground right after the resistor.

Most people just do the capacitor, so try that first.
