I'd like to get a soldano-like tone, but I want it in a simple stompbox type casing. No big digital boards or emulators. I'm not an analog nazi or anything though. I just like stompboxes live.

ok... Ya'll have have convinced me. I'll route it thinner. So, does anyone have any coments or conformation on the rest of my wiring (revesing the neck pup and moving to the middle, series/parallel push/pull).

I want to see an anti-wood guitar contest. no wood. acoustic or electric...doesn't matter. pvc, coffee cans, granite...no wood. put that in your pipe you crazy people. em... pipe...

Hey I have been looking for an old broken down cry baby to buy. I want the case for an effect experiment. Would you sell one? I want to try to build a distortion box where the drive and output are on a blend pot, so as you push the peddle forward the distortion increases but level stays the same. It may sound like crap but the idea seems cool.

I've found a 250k/250k, but i need the 3/4" theaded bushing to get though the front. It's rear routed and I'm afraid to route it any thinner than 1/2", because in the freak chance it could get hit, the knobs may push through the body. I've considered routing it thinner and then gluing a thin steel plate inside to reinforce it. Weird, I know.

I am building a guitar from scratch. All I have left to do before a pre-finish build up is wire the electronics. There are a few things that I am uncertain of, so I will give ya'll more info than you probably need. First off, I'm looking for a 250k/250k concentric pot with a 3/4" bushing for tone and drive. That's my real issue, I can't find one anywhere. Ok, any other suggestions on my parts or design would be appreciated. I want versatile guitar, but not one that is confusing or gaudy with a whole bunch of switches. I cut a mahogany body for an S/S/H configuration. I have all SD pups: an alnico II for neck, a hot stack (humbucker) for mid, and a pearly gates for bridge. I think that I have decided to reverse the polarity (switch the hot and ground?) on the alnico II and move it to the middle position for simplicity of wiring to a five way switch (full hum canceling operation). I'm planning to use the 2nd configuration (H/S/H). Then I want a 500K push/pull volume pot to switch series/parallel for all the combinations (I don't know if that's possible), and the concentric pot for tone and a drive circuit that I have yet to decide on. That's it, 1 switch, and 2 knobs. Clean. Any help with the pot or any other advise (i.e.: push/pull s/p won't work, polarity issue, pup choices stink) would be awesome. Thanks

I am by no means an electronic guru, so this may be a stupid request ( ie: all guitar resistor voltages, cap types... are all the same) . I would love to see a detailed (and idiot proof) parts list for this. Could you post one? Another thing, is the pot notched so you can tell where one effect stops and the next one starts. thanx.
