I wanted to make a multi-pedal to play some country stuff through and went through a lot of different options as to how to best capture that sound. Originally thought of using a treble boost in the first spot, but that was before I built a Kingslayer. Needless to say, that fulfilled my needs for clean/treble boost in spades! I followed that with compressor, TS, trem, delay and verb.
First up is Pickdropper's MiniTaur—sound fantastic (especially after putting the correct IC's where they're supposed to go ::)). Next is Plesur's Compulator board—good sounding comp and the right size. The rest are all Pickdropper boards: Mini Screamer with all options, Delirium Tremolo, Mini Blue Delay (SMD) and Hall Spawn (SMD) which is wired "always on".
Since I built most of the circuits before deciding what to use in this project, the board mounted pots result in less than optimal configuration. Since it's just for me, I don't mind too much. I'll change all the knobs to the smaller Davies style when I place my next parts order. The one thing I really wish I'd done differently is move the DC jack to the opposite side—it's a bit awkward with the In jack as I use mostly L plugs on my cables.

Nice. Holy crap is that a tight build!
Awesome!
How is it stepping on the footswitches? I might have issues with my giant feet on that.

You're supposed to wear pointy cowboy boots when you play this. It's country afterall.

+1!
Wow, that is a lot of circuits to cram in one box. Well played!
No substitute for having the right tool for the job and just like you want it. I know wiring this was a bear. Great job!
This looks really tight, but clean. I kinda like the input on the side and the output on the back. Not something you see every day.
Thanks for the kind words, guys!

It was really the only way I knew to make it all fit. I actually still have to grind out the section of the box lip where the output jack is since it's so close to the top. It turns out to be a very convenient configuration for a multi—I may do it on future builds—but not out of sheer necessity!
Looks like there's room for at least one Peep in there, too. Awesome work.
I like that less then optimal, chaotic/random arrangement of the pots and the larger knobs as opposed to the small Davies... anyways...
Great, great job, you put a ton of time and sweat into that!

Wow Andrew! When I read the description and saw the first pic I was expecting spaghetti for guts. You did a very admirable job of organizing the interior! I'm way impressed. Nice job.
Intensely busy! Pretty cool :)
