So I've got all of my parts together for this layout, with the exception that I'm using an OC44 instead of an NPN transistor for which the layout calls. And this is important, I would like to use a negative voltage inverter to keep the ability to daishy chain, but still use both a DC jack and a battery snap.

I can't find any wiring diagrams for using a voltage inverter with both dc jack and battery snap. If anyone has one I'd appreciate it, this one has been taking my mind for a spin.

Here is a link to the layout,    http://turretboard.knucklehead.dk/2011/02/28/terminal-npn-rangemaster-with-mods/
The Rangemaster layout and voltage inverter layouts are attached for reference

Perfect sense, thanks buddy.

I'm currently piecing together a build with a booster and an overdrive in one enclosure. I have diagrams to wire the 2 effects up in one enclosure where they can be switched on independently. However, I would like it to include an effects loop so a wah or possibly something else can be inserted in between the booster and wah, but the loop needs to be bypassed when there are no cables inserted/effect in use. I can't seem to find much on wiring pedals with effects loops. Any resources, links, or straight up diagrams would be awesome.

Thanks

Always make sure to tin your wire beforehand. It makes all the difference.

Always do this as well. Depending upon the wire used, some brands the jacket will melt while soldering and shrink leaving exposed wire on the non solder pad side.

Absolutely gorgeous.

My Weber WLC100 is an absolute workhorse. I've had to replace the iron ($15-$20) once in about 7 years. I paid $40 for the station at Sears.

Mammoth Electronics and Small Bear Electronics both have a decent selection of aluminum knobs, but I'm not sure if either vendor carry knobs exactly like the Bliss Audio. And they're both US suppliers, although they probably ship Internationally.

They're good for tagboards/turrets or point to point stuff.

I believe the company in question also manufactures higher end poly axial caps.

I've found the bright clear white LED's to be pretty obvious in all lighting conditions, although they can be somewhat bright and non colorful.
