Hello, I'm finally ready to pull my trigger on this project that I've been thinking of for a long time!  :icon_twisted:

I'll be using a GGG board (http://www.generalguitargadgets.com/content/view/80/26/), a drilled enclosure and some other parts from PPP and Small Bear Electronics.

I'd like to ask you a few noobie questions before purchasing the parts, etc.

1. How tall is the audio transformer, Mouser #42TM018 (I believe his Jawari circuit uses this as well), and would it fit inside a 1290-sized box (http://www.pedalpartsplus.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=PPP&Product_Code=1069&Category_Code=DRI)?
2. A drilled hole size for an SPST toggle switch: Is it same was a normal pot? I'm ordering a drilled enclosure from PPP and I'm just wondering if I need to ask them to make one of the holes bigger/smaller according to the size of the toggle switch.

I'll keep this updated as my project progresses. And possibly some clips as well.  :icon_redface:

Thanks lots in advance! Cheers!

I built one a week or so ago.
The whole circuit is pretty small.
About the size of a matchbox,
The transformer is small, no taller than ta matchbox actually.

Switches vary, but the one I used is the same size as a regular Pot.

Pretty nifty circuit.
Nice weird wave shaped fuzz.

Thanks for the reply!

I think I should give it a go with a 1290 then. Can't wait to build it!  :icon_razz:
