There are already several prototyping rig tutorials on here and I don't expect mine will add much that's new. But, I think it's important to have for the website. So, here is the new tutorial (also linked on the Tutorials webpage).

This is awesome! Thanks for this.
That audio probe is one of the cleverest things I've seen.
That's some McGyver shit with that audio probe.
And as I was going to ask some questions you were way ahead of me. Thanks for this.
That audio probe is awesome!! Thanks a lot.
SO cool Brian, thanks for sharing the process. Its about time I upgrade my cutting board rig and this looks perfect.

Just out of curiosity - if I were to make a few (much better/professional looking) audio probes for sale inexpensively would anyone be interested? Not that I am discouraging the DIY aspect of this because it's easy to make what I showed in the tutorial. I'm thinking something that looks more like an actual tool.

Yes, please! With a banana plug on one side so it works with my Effects Tester Mk II. :)
I'd seriously consider it. My audio probe is the first thing I ever soldered, and I've been too lazy to make a better one.
I use a spare probe off a DMM (my local electronics store had a bin of them for 50 cents a piece) as an audio probe.
Is there any advantage/disadvantage to doing it this way? I just chose it because it was cheap and accessible, not because of actual technical know-how.

No advantage other than it only required what I had laying around the house. But, using a DMM probe is also a perfect solution.

This is what I want to do. Problem for me is finding a cheap set that fits a binding post (banana plug). All the new ones seem to be more female than male.
It never even hit me to add a road rage to my prototype rig. I just had it set up for +9v. I'll be doing that, for sure now. Thanks!
