You just need more of each pedal so you don't need to adjust knobs. Just have different loops for each song.

I once saw a band that the guitarist had 6 boss dd6 pedals for different songs.

Q1) PM ME your address I can mail you some in the US if you want because I don't know the answer. Lol. I probably have some to spare.

Q2) probably not. It's just for power to have dual voltage as far as I know.

You could flip the board and put the led next to the stomp too

I love the OCD (mad bean ego driver) and my dynamic overdrive from ggg. I've got a Timmy I run all the time to warm up my ac15c1 before everything.

I've got a kingslayer and spark plug waiting to be finished right now. As well as the black 65.

I didn't really fall in love with the quasar built to RC booster spec.

After I clear off my workbench. I think I need the dead ringer ii

Gorgeous guitar. I'm a sucker for Macassar Ebony Fretboards. So look into those if you want to replace.

Good until the 27th. 

True to form, my order gets here today. Probably wouldnt have been worth the wait though for me :-)

I'll have to check it later. I was just running through some stuff and was like, oh... whats this?

I think it might be a 1n34a. Can't remember why i bought those, or if thats just what was sent. Probably PPP or Small Bear, but maybe ebay...

I think it looks like a russian made D9 germanium type diode.
depending of the measured Fv you can use it probably in place of a 1n34a.

Cheers,
Panos.

Thanks panos. I was actually convinced it was a germanium 1n34a workalike. But I just couldn't figure it out.

I can't seem to find any markings on this. I remember buying them some time ago but don't know what they are. A little larger than a 1n4001.  Any help is appreciated. I think I picked em up at the time I built my timmy, ts808(landgraf) and Rc booster but was planning a muff build too.

(holding over my spark plug  I was populating.$

Thanks

A couple more options...
Top mount power


Top mount jacks. They shouldn't interfere with pots.


Turn the switch board 90deg.

You guys don't just blow the fumes away? It's pretty much become second nature for me. I don't even think about it. I've also been building pedals in my apartment for some three years now and it doesn't smell like solder smoke. It sometimes reeks of FlCL and acetone though...

Haha. I got tired of trying to find all the snipped leads I blew off my desk. Plus the headaches. Got a bad migraine last week the day after populating a few boards. Just got my carbon filter today from Amazon and a 12v ps since I couldn't find one sitting around.

I realize this is a very old post but j kept getting headaches after long sessions of soldering. So o built this...

Just gutted an old power supply that I had laying around. Salvaged the hookup wire. Added a barrel plug. And wired it up. Uses the original switch too. Thought about using the 110 hookup and putting a transformer inside but was lazy. Basically it'll suck through the "top" one which will end up on its side. And I have some carbon filter material in shipment right now. It'll go under the grill there.

For those of you who are big breadboarders, Circuit Specialists have a pretty nice looking powered breadboard for $89 right now...

I don't have any experience with it, but I have one of their digital soldering stations and it was the best investment I made, and only cost I think $35 at the time, and came with a free DMM.

That is a pretty neat concept.  I can see why some would use it.

IMO would feel money would be better spent on a more robust, fully adjustable power supply and separate breadboard.  I got a regulated bench power supply for about $60.  Plus with a separate power supply and separate breadboard(s), you can have multiple projects going at the same time - simply swap breadboarded projects.  A regular breadboard will be less tall than this as well.  Can't beat having a fully adjustable, regulated, separate bench power supply!

If you had really limited space and were not planning on using the PS for other projects often I can see where this would be a nice, self contained solution.

Yeah I assumed most of the real busy folks have a nice benchtop psu. This looked nice for occasioned that wants an all on one package. Just thought it was pretty cool.

Maybe a little spray adhesive to stretch it over the enclosure first.  Then the et?

I know you just ordered the coldheat, but Hakko has this battery powered one...
