You guys ever see this?

Effects Connection has 3PDT switches for $3 for the next month.

Tayda had them for $2.59 but they're out of stock.

I have a Zygote ready to rock but I lost one of my transistors somewhere   I may have to order a new set and use the remaining one to build a Rangemaster if I can't find its mate.

I also have a Boneyard about 75% done.  I'll have to order all pots and switches for that one, though.

I etched and built a Slambox last week.   Also etched and drilled a Tubescreamer board from the Tonepad layout the other day.  I think I'm going to build a Road Rage for the Zygote, too.

Lots of irons in the fire!  I'm most looking forward to the Boneyard, though.

I like the faded look, too. 

And your second build looks pro

Good question. 

I just about have a Zygote finished up, and even though it's considered a noob build, I found it more troublesome than the Yellow Shark.  The Yellow Shark is a "cowboy" build, but the amount of off board wiring on the Zygote really upped the difficulty, IMO. 

I think it's probably just a judgment call  The great thing is that all the projects have such awesome documentation, it makes it fairly easy to read through and decide for yourself if you're ready to tackle it or not.

Cool, but the shark ate your LED

I took the picture before I put it in.  Now it's a Yellow Shark in a red box with a blue LED

+1 on the Diablo!

Ironsounds also makes one.  This kit is a little more complete.  With the Baby Will you'll have to source all your components. 

I think the PPwatt forums have a 5E3 board available for around $20, also. 

Tubedepot has some kits and boards, as well.

With the PCB board, it was a pretty easy step up to building an amp.  It's pretty much the same skill set as building a pedal.  It's just that the stakes are a bit higher if you screw it up due to the high voltage. 

Love it!  It stays on all the time.  Great documentation, great board!

Looking forward to many more MadBean builds!

I just finished an 18 watt Baby Will and I couldn't be happier with it.  The documentation is great, and there's lots of help on the PPWatt forums if you need it. 

The whole build cost me about $200 including the donor Valve Jr. 

Here's how it sounds with the Yellow Shark

The mic was clipping a bit, I think.  It's not quite as dirty as that clip sounds.
