Show your pedal guts!

[blorvak]

Thanks! I aspire to get my guts as neat as you get yours, Travis. Do you use solid core wire?

Thanks for the tip, too! I socketed the diodes in my original DeArmond Square Wave, so I'll swap out a GE for SI and see how it goes!

Here's my Skyripper Fuzz, one day i'll remember to buy some knobs

[Travis]

I mostly use the stranded pre bond wire from smallbear but I have solid core stuff that I like as well.

One trick that I often use is to mount the pots and switches to the outside of the enclosure. With all wires soldered to the effect board, I glue the board to the back of the pots. Then I can remove the board and pots from the enclosure like a little module, and it is much easier for me to cut the length of the wires and solder them to pots underneath the board. Once the pots are all wired up I drop the “module” into the enclosure and finish wiring the power, LED, and bypass (always trying to be conscientious about the order in which I do things ie wires further down in the enclosure are dealt with first, then wires that sit at the top are done last)

One other thing I do is pull the wire into a smooth arc shape by hand before using the wire. The wire tends to be kinked up in the packaging and it will always look bad when it is kinked so it needs to be smoothed out first and then it will take the shape that you want more gracefully. I do this by pinching the wire between my index finger and thumb and then pulling a length of wire through the pinch. The resulting wire should have no kinks and will be curved in one direction. I then try to use the curvature of the wire to my advantage if possible

That is probably a way more complicated answer than you wanted but hopefully there is something helpful in there for you

Phil that Skyripper looks insane, how do you like it sound-wise?

Looking good Phil

That's some great info, Travis! Thanks! I always mount the board last, then try to pretty up the wires, which is not ideal. I'll try it your way next time. I'm sure it will turn out better!

And, wow PMowdes, that pedal has some options!

Haven't had much chance to play it tbh, I've been in the garden building a shed for the last few days.  First impressions though is that there's a huge range of sounds in there, thick fuzz, oscillation, gated weirdness. I don't think it will replace either the sputnik or gemini but it's certainly interesting.

Here's my Shoe Pixel fuzz

[Mulekicker]

Awesome! LOVE the Pixel!

[traktop]

Übergazer:
Deviever shoegazer with switchable effects variations, (US, Aenima, Thorns peaker, Sodameiser, Vintage fuzz master), and chaos stomp switch with a toggle for selecting 3 chaos levels.

 I added a "function" toggle switch which changes the behaviour of the stompswitches:

Single works as normal; 2 independent switchable effects.

Stack turns TP,US,AE stompswitch into a "master" on/off switch turning on/off one of those 3 effects  and allowing to stack them with SM/VFM as usual, but if you turn off the switch, you turn off the whole stompbox, (even if the SM/VFM part is on). The idea is create a preset sound with a combination of both sides allowing to turn that combo with just one stompswitch
.
NASTY!!!

Spaceman Saturn v overdrive.  Finally got around to finishing this after not realizing it wouldn’t fit in a 1590g enclosure. Oops.
