Short Circuit

I bought myself a breadboard today and tested out 5 circuits that interested me.And everyone worked the first time  :icon_mrgreen:
It is so nice to just plug everything in and test instead of building the board and finding out you don't like it.
Also just to change componants to see how much the sound changes.
I built a few overdrives and I think the Vulcan Overdrive and the Electro Distortion are worth building into stompboxes.

Nice Mark!  Problem with breadboards is... you never have enough!  Which reminds me, I need to go and get one this weekend.   :icon_razz:

I *love* my breadboard too! Just popping in parts, swapping in other parts etc has taught me a lot about what each part does. And yeah...it sooo much easier and quicker to build a circuit like this.

I need a breadboard desperately.  :-\

Just the jack and pots... there must be a way....
a stash of pre-wired jack and pots right?  ;D

I have a setup kind of like that... pots and jacks wired up and mounted on an old chassis, with breadboards in the middle. The trouble is, as 8bitRockOut says, you can never have enough breadboards! I'm seriously thinking about coming up with a leaner, meaner prototyping arrangement, maybe just a bracket with in, out, and maybe 3 holes for pots to be wired up as needed, and some way to clamp the whole thing to a breadboard. I could make up a few of these, buy another breadboard or two, and start complaining that the number of circuits I can prototype at once is *still* finite!

I haven't got that far yet but I want to build something that has pots and jacks mounted so I don't have everything scattered all over my bench.
I made the Vulcan a stompbox yesterday and took it to band practice last night.
I was so impressed with it that the Zoom 505 is coming off the pedal board and the Vulcan and a DOD Chorus pedal ( I've had this for 15 years) are going on in it's place.  :icon_mrgreen:
