not sure what you mean dude :) the switch has a circular body with a "head" that's rectangular so that might be misleading looking from the top, but if you look at the insides you'll see that the body of the switch is circular, and it's 12mm like all of the common switches
not sure if that's what you've meant

That is what i meant and i had'nt noticed the round part from the inside. Those switch looks great!

I have officially run out of adjectives that express the creativeness and skill your builds always present. This is a milestone I'm happy to witness.

Thank you guys for such lovely words, you are a great crowd.

Oh yeah, it was a wonderful day in Oslo that one. I was overwhelmed by the Vigeland installation and it's many statues. Some of them are better known than the Monolith is actually. All of the statues under the monolith are incredible too, very very special, as they portray different moments from a persons lifetime, for example a statue of a father giving advice to a young boy I've found particularly moving. There are many powerful moments in the park. Thank you Cody for posting a picture of the Monolith :)

I might do a little demo later but would be pressed for inspiration to be honest, will see how it goes. I found the chorus sound that this thing can do interesting also. The modulation sounds superb, and prior to building it I was like - nah, I'm not gonna use that, but actually I am not turning it off at all haha. Only on super low delay times, slapback and lower.

The Monolitten 121 actually completed my "black classics" board:



which I intend to use in a band that I am starting. After a long history of dragging tons of gear to rehearsals, I'm gonna try and make do with these. The crybaby is a standard baby, nothing modded on it, sounds great.

Also, I feel like like I'm explaining this every time I post a build report - I do not etch these faceplates :) they are laser engraved by a machine in a local engraving store. All the credit goes to the machines and software behind em hehe, I only do the graphics in Inkscape.

Although this satisfied me just fine, I must admit that having two MN3005s indeed would be awesome. I hope sometime to get hold of them. Until then, I'll play this baby with much joy.

Here's some sort of a demo song. The only pedals used were the Monolitten 121 and the Sunking for the drive. Played with my trusted SG into a totally dry Vox AC30 pod farm simulation.

I have since realized one additional thing (in addition to analog delays being the only delays for me that is) and that's that the Sunking is still THE drive for me, nothing sounds like it and nothing translates the character of my pickups further than the Sunking does. Absolutely awesome pedal.

Cheers and thank you for the nice compliments as always guys

Seeing all of those pedals together at once is really beautiful. Play them proudly!
