Good work.  It really shows the excellent layouts of your boards, with all the offboard connections logically and neatly laid out.

The solder mask also looks great.  When did you start using that?

[Fp-www.Tonepad.com]

Not too long ago, and I've only done it with the more popular designs. My plan is to have most of the boards include solder mask and silver pads at some point, but it'll take a while.

Thanks Tom,

I personally preffer the Big Muff, but I figured the TS is the most popular of the boards I offer, so I did it for that one.

The information on the pictures pretty much applies to any other stompbox project at tonepad (and other sites as well).

Ok, I'll bite... What's a "parrapedal"? where's the schematic?

Pretty cool FP!

I have never seen a solder mask before.  You would have to make an effort to mess that up!

Thats awsome!!!  I with that was there when I 1st started. ALthough Im certain I still would have asked a few dumb or obvious questions.

Its very beginner freindly except Im sure theyll wonder how to connect all the other wires to the switch, led, and power.

Great work and great new boards!

There's a project at tonepad called "Offboard wiring" it has a few different wiring options. I will make a photo essay only on how to do offboard wiring sometime before the year ends.
