Here is my Glitterrattii build for a friend.  It would have went smooth, but I neglected to look at the wiring diagram  ::) I didn't realize that the gain and treb were different...  Good thing I tested it first because I had a fun time boxing it  ;D  Enjoy!  O and thanks for the waterslide tips guys.  I perfected this one I think.

Looks great! I'm impressed with how clean I looks. Decal looks awesome.

Sparkly on the outside, tidy on the inside! Great work.

Nice job gtr2!  I must ask coz I've seen a few in various gut shots, what the advantage of using the pcb on the 3PDT?

some people find it easier because you don't have to the small jumpers between the lugs.

k thanks... thought it might be something like that.   :)

This is the second footswitch pcb that I've used.  I think I actually prefer the old fashion way though..  I don't really save much time with the pcb method.

I found this to be true also. Neat idea but why bother. Just my 2 pennies!

BTW: beautiful build! How do you like the BB?

I really like it!  It goes off to a friend tomorrow  :'(  But I've got everything I need to build another  ;)

I guess I'd describe it as a tubescreamer with more clarity, gain, and sustain for days.  The bass and treble pots really help dial things in too.  The gain is kind of like none and then a lot with little room in between.  Really great lead tone with this!

Very nice! I agree with your description as well.

This looks great, one or two questions, how did you support the board, just foam adhesive spacer on the back of the board or?
2nd where did you end up ordering your parts, I love the clean look of the caps.

The back of the board has this on it.

It works really great.

The caps are Topmay's from Small Bear and Wimas from futurlec.  Good luck with your build!
