I imagine everyone has half a dozen boxes of dead vero, don't they? Plenty of YASFs, aka Yet Another Shitty Fuzzes, a number of "didn't work/can't be arsed to debug"s, the classic "let's attempt an unverified Boss slow gear for a third ever build", and the perennial "sounded great on the breadboard/sounds shit now it's boxed". Notice also the lovely (and not uncostly) classic sloped retrofuzz enclosure that claims to be made of steel but three broken drill bits are adamant is actually a titanium/molybdenum, high strength, military-grade bombproof alloy.
Re: rage-snapped vero - I have only once lost control of my rational sensibilities once with vero, when I blobbed across the tracks of a particularly involved layout, and then spent a good while carefully smearing more and more solder across tracks THAT WEREN'T ORIGINALLY BRIDGED, more and more, until it resembled more of a giant puddle of solder than a pedal circuit, and in moment of pathetic squawking rage stabbed the bastard through the middle with a screwdriver... after discovering I had also jabbed a good few cubic centimetres of wood out of the kitchen table, I then spent the next hour or so with a tube of superglue and some woodshavings trying to ensure I wouldn't have to explain things in the morning.
