So...ive finally assembled all the parts for a dig dug build ive been planning for 6 months or so.  not a cheap build.  sourced parts from PPP and small bear.  first time using small bear and never again.  the vactrol was a bout 4 bucks more than mammoth, everything was more in all honesty.  the shipping took 2x as long as the good folks at pedal parts plus....AND here's the kicker:  after spending 45 bucks on about 30-40 resistors and caps- not a single one was labeled and i am missing a couple resistors.  so my next 3 hours are going to be spent going through all the parts and finding out their values and running by radio shack after that,  because apparently theyre too busy at small bear to label the components of your order.  AWESOME.  Pedal Parts Plus, if they can get more inventory and variety, will have my business everytime.   I just bought some knobs from mammoth so we'll see how they score on my scale of customer service.  your comments are welcome.  anyone else have crappy experiences?

soooo, i just about crapped my pants yesterday when i saw that the site was down, since i just bought a board from haberdasher and rely heavily on brian's super awesome (seriously.) how to on pedals.  anyone know the scoop or if this has ever happened before?  maybe i should just print every pdf now.

lemme know what you think, feel free to post on the you tube site as well

didnt take pics of the guts yet.   not too bad for a first timer, but it was a cramped build.  only made a couple of mistakes - which were easily reversible, but overall, went quite smoothly and it was FUN.  the pedal plays well and all adjustments/ trimmers work as they should.  not sure if  all trimmers are this way but, the 3 pole was orientated on the right side of the pot, so they had to be mounted on the underside of the board to match up the silkscreening on the pcb from madbean.  anyway. they work correctly so i assume this is how they were designed to be mounted.   im proud of 2 things:  the paint job, and the fact that it fired right up.  Thanks madbean, you will have more of my business soon.
