It sounds pretty awesome  :), the tp and zp micro go really well together, as does the zp,tp, and bmp...but the r2g2 is good by itself or with the delay....gonna add diode clipping to the r2g2 as well maybe if the other little board will fit, if not oh well....now photoshop for a day or so lol

Oh, now that's just rad.  Like mid-80's, mongoose, D&D rad.  Seriously.  A 4-1 like that is pretty nasty.

No don't call it that, that's silly. Call it dragons breath. The build on the other hand is just ridiculous. You're silky not to enter it. If you think you do that ha en to top this one, you're wrong. We now need more! ;D

pretty much.....i find it too much with all four., it's good individually or in 3, the r2g2 and the big muff pi don't go together too well, but the others do especially bmp, thunderpuss, and zero point micro. The r2g2 has way more boost than the other circuits for some reason, but that's okay and i really enjoyed building it.

It looks absolutely great, I am impressed with your build. It takes a lot off thought to get something like this on the road, You are the man Dan :D

Congrats

soundclip: the effects in order are clean(no effect) fuzz, boost, delay(without chorus mod), delay(with chorus mod), then distortion....please excuse my playing i'm a bit rusty...played with a gibson lp studio with p90s and a marshall 30fx on setting as clean as i could get it.All effects were at half of everthing other than delay which i had everything at max.

That is work of art, inside AND out. I love what you came up with. It inspires the hell out of me. You just set the bar real high.

Thanks a million Rip57...it was great fun and my 3rd build(well if you add the 4, i guess it would be 7th one)...i think i've found my calling with building pedals, i've been into electronics since i was a little kid and just a fluke i googled one day about 2 months ago how to build an effects pedal and came across mammoth kits, which led me to guitarpcb, which led me to madbeanpedals, it is truly enjoyable. ;D
