When I’m building pedals, I often start by trying circuits out on a breadboard. One thing I have always struggled with is off-board components. One option is to add plug potentiometers directly into the breadboard but I often find the components don\u2019t stay in the breadboard. The second option is to wire the off-board components up but I find this a bit messy.<\/p>\n

A few years ago I saw the ZVex Inventobox. The idea was to create a pedal that would allow people to experiment. So inspired by this pedal I decided to come up with my own design.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/address>\n

The enclosure is built using two\u00a0Hammond 1590B enclosures. All the potentiometers, switches and jacks are located in the bottom half of the enclosure with a breadboard located in the upper half of the enclosure. The bottom half of the enclosure can be access through holes in between the two halves. The footswitch is a DPDT switch with a GeoFex millennium bypass.<\/p>\n
