There's always the possibility that there'll be more prizes than entries 

At least we can hope.

Can't wait to see everyone's pedals in the contest! Exciting! This is a really great community.

Been working on another prize to offer in the contest (a mutron micro V custom made for this contest) If I can get it finished soon ill offer it up!

Hopefully a lot more people join up in the contest.

I've just started my vacation, so I'm able to spend more time on this than I normally can. Also, the weather is a bit crap, so there's a good excuse.

Wondering if we "lose" points if we get a PCB fabbed rather than making it ourselves., that that itm atters too much. I'm using 0.5mm pitch SMD stuff though, which is absolutely impossible to home etch, in my experience. The couple times I tried, bodge wires everywhere to make up for the traces and pads the acid ate through because the toner wasn't thick enough.

[midwayfair]

Fabbed PCBs are fine. -- It was actually one of the first things I insisted on. And the bonus points would be for designing the layout, not for e.g. etching your own.

cool beans

I think I'll make this effect my first foray into latching bypass relays instead of 3PDTs.

my music is often very ambient, and so is the nature of my effects , usually. loud CLACK of a 3PDT can sometimes break the mood in very small venues during a minimalist part.

it'll also make for less wiring!

We lost a week's worth of posts when the forum crashed.

Fortunately the lunch meat survived.

Has anyone else read Pynchon's Mason and Dixon? We've all lived a week that never existed.
