I'm considering building a silverfox and was debating whether to make the Trim pots internal or external for maximum tweak-ability. Has anyone built one with all the pots external? Or did you experiment and decide on only one external?
I built one. Super overdrive, I like it a lot.
I opted for internal. I didn't regret it.

The bass and mid pots are great external on the 'Fox. The presence not so much. The upcoming Sparkplug project is sort of a generic Barber type overdrive and has external Bass and Mid, but no presence control.

Thanks MB. When is the Sparkplug going to be available? I may etch a silverfox and give it a go, thanks for the input!
Definitely do the Silverfox...not trying to talk you out of it just to sell another PCB :) The Sparkplug should be here in a couple of weeks, but it is not the LTD at all. Rather, just sayin those controls are quite helpful, IMO.

I did mine and one for my buddy with external bass and mids. VERY nice to have.

I just finished building mine with all of the pots on the outside, partially because I don't like opening it up everytime to adjust, and partially because I wanted a dirt pedal with six knobs. And the disease worsens....wait til the Bubba boards are done.
