I put this together a while back for direct recording and for playing with headphones. The two pedals in the upper left corner cover amp and cab sims, DI for going ampless and a headphone amp. The silver Darkglass pedal lets me send tracks from my phone via Bluetooth for playing along with, too. I assembled this for playing bass but electric guitars sound great with these pedals too.

Just finished building this one tonight. It is a Mu-Tron Octave Divider clone, built from a BYOC kit. I haven't really messed around with it other than to test it once it was done. Should be a pretty fun addition to my bass board.

Nice. I was thinking about building a pedal for fun. How long did it take you, and what is your depth of knowledge with electronics? Mine is zero. I've been buying a lot of pedals, lately.

This one took several days. I worked on it for a couple hours each night so in total, probably ten hours. This one has a lot of components, really small parts and tight spaces so it took longer.
In comparison, a Fuzz Face circuit has somewhere around eleven parts so that could be built in less than 30 minutes.
I have built probably 40 pedals and I repaired electronic equipment professionally several years. Things like pedals are pretty easy, as long as you are patient and don't try to rush. Going back and redoing something or tracking down a mistake is harder than going slow and paying attention to the details so that doesn't happen.
I had to take a break from this kind of work due to a neurological issue that affected my hands and dexterity. Slowly trying to get back into it.
