Hello Jerks,
 Follow navigation on the left to various things I feel are worth sharing with you, internet.
Updates:
11/09: Two things:
a) Modded DS-1. Info under gear and projects -> mods. Mark it:
 b) Trimmed up the mintyboost wires to try and make it more travel-ready. It's almost there:
 8/24: Not related to music at all but I built the mightymintyboost, a solar-powered mp3 player recharger. Worked first try!
From left to right: solar cell, lithium battery charger circuit, lithium battery, mintyboost kit. The ion battery charges the mp3 player, and gets recharged by the solar cell. Total project cost (with no real way to reduce costs whatsoever, unfortunately) is about 70 dollars.
 8/20: Completed the pedal part of the EF440 clone, and got it to accept plug-in resistance. Next up is working on the modular sequencer that can plug into it for on-the-fly resistance changing, and on turning a Mintyboost into something powered by solar. Anyway: Completed and pretty EF440, with nice purple LED:
 8/13: Working on the GGG EF440 clone, started a page for it under instruments/effects/homemade. What's your ringtone?
 728: Completed an adafruit breadboard power supply and a great lookin' A/B/Y passive switchbox. All look great and work great. Pictures of everything coming soon in their respective sections.
7/14: DS-1 mods are complete. The mod really makes a huge ass difference. This pedal (or the next one, maybe) is for sale. You can buy it. From me. 7/13: I figured out what my diode problems were with the DS-1 mods. It's kind of cool -- when you play through it, the LEDs light up. How nifty! Have a few things I'm definitely going to do next time, and will probably unload this one on a friend.
 Current project itinerary
Power Sequencer (Taking the previous synth experimentation I've done and trying to bring it up to the level of 'honest to god instrument.' Assembling a PCB for this one using stock radioshack boards so it's slow going. Contains a series of logic inverters, a clock timer controllable by oscillator or CV in, a digital 8 way switch spitting out either triangle or square waves, an onboard low pass filter, and an active volume mixer out. Need to find a case for it yet, but other than that all the parts are about set to be ordered, hooray!)
Gristleizer (PCB together, having trouble getting it in the box. Fuckshitfuck)
Talkbox (By request of a friend for synth-funk. Down the horizon, of course, but I looked at some schematics and this looks pretty simple.)
GGG EF440 Sequencer Mods (Need three or four 100k pots before I can do this)
x0xb0x (rare parts and PCBs in, have not ordered anything else)
Tape loops (I need matte and rubber O-rings for this, and patience I guess)
DS-1 modding (Keeley mod, plus a bend, plus a modular clipping stage)
Laser harp revisited (guhhh)
