Proto Pedal for DIY Guitar Effects

Step 5 Conclusion

Now, you'll notice I didn't include the test pots and switches like I planned for.  I decided, circuits are so diverse, and you'll always actually need the pots later for the actual assembly of whatever you're prototyping, that maybe affixing permanent pots isn't such a great idea.  Maybe a permanent master volume control would be a good improvement, but I had a change of heart against the fixed pots.  The slots and holes are still great for future improvements and built-in features though, definitely.

This design can definitely be modified to suit any specialized prototyping purpose.  The exact same thing sans footswitch and signal jacks would be perfect as a regular prototyping platform.  Incorporating a power supply inside the unit would be very cool.  There's lots to tinker with here.

Please feel free to ask any questions.  Thanks for reading!
