I just got a notice from PayPal: my package has shipped!!!

I'm going to buy the pcb of the EM and DMM ... then I can have the information PDF ?

ramengo, if you go back to page 2 of this thread and check out Brian's/madbean's third and fourth posts on that page, you'll find some of the info in pdf form.

Am I the only one obsessively checking the build docs every other hour? 

No. 

I was just looking at the layout posted on FSB for the "Byrdiebox" and was wondering 1) if this may become a production board; and 2) if so, would it be possible to incorporate a clean blend a la the Barber Tone Press compressor? Seems like it would make this a really killer comp option!

I expect there to be between 5-7 additional projects. I would like to get at least ONE sub-mini tube project in there, and one or two of the baby boards.

Very exciting; thanks for all the hard work.

I very rarely post on this forum - I'm usually too dazzled by the extraordinary work on display to form a coherent thought - but I just have to share this for those who are unaware of P.W.B. Electronics, makers of fine quantum products to improve your home high fidelity audio playback systems:

Game... and match. 

Sounds amazing, sprayfe!

I would love to see this project as well.

Brian, I don't recall if the CM Plexi and AC-Tone are built on the same PCB, but if they are, will it be possible to build either on the Boneyard board?

Great, been looking forward to this one!

Of course, running the aquaboy at 18v might make a difference, but I doubt I'll get a road rage, aquaboy AND the double delay board into a 125B.

I'm not sure that the v3205 CAN be run at 18v; Brian may know more about this.

Hi asimoth; if you haven't found this already, you may wish to check out the GGG page on switching options:

More specifically, here is the layout for using the Millenium Bypass (haven't used it myself): http://www.generalguitargadgets.com/diagrams/switch_lo_dpdt_mil.gif?phpMyAdmin=78482479fd7e7fc3768044a841b3e85a

From my experience, you need to make sure you're very careful in your drilling. Perhaps a 1/16 out is ok, but much more than that... They play in the pots isn't in the post though, it's in the leads. Those leads can be manipulated a small amount.

"Leads" is what I meant by "posts", like columns (I thought the posts were the "shaft"); I'll try to stick to the correct terminology.  Thanks for clarifying.

I DO have a collection of solid-core wire, including some that is of sufficient gauge for ground tracks in tube amps; I may be better off - considering that my drilling rig isn't going to improve any time soon - using that on regular pots than using the PCB mount pots.

I've never used board-mounted pots before, and I'm curious how much "play" there is in the posts themselves.  I've avoided them in the past, as my drilling rig and technique has always been a bit dicey, so I want to know if my drilling is even slightly off, am I more or less screwed, or are the shafts posts flexible enough to accommodate a skewed drilled pattern?
