    Soon your basement will look like a rehearsal area. I'm excited for you. Good luck.

    SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.

    make sure you get a carling or fulltone switch when you rebox it for true bypass.

    Congrats on the local find you can do so much with a hammond box almost everybody uses them nowadays.

    Let us see pic's when you are done.

    the muff needs a new switch and new jacks and everything. i'm going to try to wire it for a plug rather than the damn battery clip. should not be hard. i'll have to pop it open again and see what's attached to the board and what's not.

    the I/O boxes are easy. just a patch panel really.

    i'll have to fix up my A/B box since the switches and jacks on it are all shot to hell too. oh wait, the jacks are on the board. dammit.

    i also have a package to pick up at lunch. i don't know if it's the jazzmaster body or the circuit components though.

    Kickass the Jagbastard is here.

    You just need to drill the case and install the adapter plug it ain't rocket science.

    judging by the amount i owe for taxes/duties, i'm guessing it's the pots and switches only. it's too low to be the fees on the body and bridge i think. we'll see.

    it was the pots and mini switches.

    and caps, shielding paint and wires.

    so now i can do the shielding and volume bleeds on my strat and tele.

    i'm going to try to do a picture detail of the shielding job.

    a lot of the little boxes that effect pedals are housed in are made by hammond manufacturing. thus, hammond boxes.

    good to hear. i'm always ordering them for various homebrew effects pedals. just finished my ts808 clone design. i had a custom circuit board made for it, true bypass, and used all high quality components. it turned out really nice. i'm working on a big muff clone design now and then i'll make some type of compressor clone.
    my life...you electrify my life. let's conspire to reignite...all the souls that would die just feel alive.
