C.<p>So after figuring out which bits to remove, I set about building it. I first tried laying it out on a single one of my custom <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/protoboards" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>protoboards</span></a> I posted about before. It gets very dense, and would require cutting / splitting a whole lot more of the 6-hole <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/pad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pad</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/strips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>strips</span></a> than I really wanted to do. So I built it on two boards, using the same modular connection between them that I use for the rest of my effects boards.</p><p>Even the original Boss pedal used 2 separate boards, so I don't feel too badly about it.</p><p>Anyway... it took a while to fiddle with the layouts to get something I like, then document my parts placement, remove all the parts and start re-populating and <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/soldering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>soldering</span></a> them into place. But I got that done this evening.</p><p>I did a little meter <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/probing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>probing</span></a> of the results to find any obvious missing connections or such, and fixed a couple. Then I plugged in my guitar, and ...</p><p>It <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/worked" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>worked</span></a>, perfectly, the first time. I believe that's the first time any of my effects have not required any <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/debugging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>debugging</span></a> at all. I'm <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/chuffed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>chuffed</span></a> .</p><p>And it sounds *fantastic*.</p><p>The originally-called-for <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/transistors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>transistors</span></a> and <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/diodes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>diodes</span></a> are mostly <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/obsolete" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>obsolete</span></a> and hard to find. I dug through datasheets to find ones I thought would (a) be acceptable substitutes, and (b) I already had in my parts bins. Frankly, given the nature of the effect, I doubt the selections are too critical, but I'll include what I used for completeness, in case anyone else wants to make one of these.</p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/maker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>maker</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/components" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>components</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/substitute" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>substitute</span></a></p><p>4/x</p>
