Hello,

I have modded a few pedals and am pretty handy with an iron. I was going to attempt a project and make something that I might even use.

I would like to get a housing to fit a Rat clone and a TS-808. I would like to wire up to have two 3PDT Switches with LED's with separate volume tone and distortion. I was wondering if anyone has completed something like this and what would be the difficulty level? I was planning on buying the boards from General Guitar Gadgets. Some parts from here and some from Small Bear.

Love this board; I have recently bought a lot of gear to get myself into this hobby. I even bought a Irwin Uni-bit for a Muff Pi rehousing project that i am working on. (Having problem with this one at the moment.) My 8 year old daughter did ask "Dad, what's a big muff?"

Thanks

difficulty level...
  For me / EZ to hard, because I've done it, there are no hurdles of 'unknown height'... but if I mess something up anyway, and it's *hard to find...
  I don't know what you know, so I can't give you a 'LODifficulty'.
  I can say if wire each board and fire it up first, then it's as hard as debugging that circuit, the bypass is the same number of wire connections...
  Because it has become 2 instead of just one doesn't make it really twice as hard, mainly just twice as 'long'..ie the same size hurdles, just more of them.
  You can share voltage divider...use V+, Vb, and Gnd. from one divider circuit.
  See Dragonfly Mod Zone for a pic of dual Cct bypass wiring diagram.
  PS, I get my boards 'firing up', then mess with the messy bypass wiring in the box.

The wiring for this is on the GGG site. 2 pedals in one enclosure. I believe it's in the switching section tech articles.
