Here's what I did over the weekend. It's a Skreddy Screwdriver clone and the layout is from Madbean. Sounds fantastic

Been working on the graphics for some 3-in-1 pedals i'm going to be building. Got these printed the other day and just waiting for them to arrive.

(please ignore how bright the blue is, the image was CMYK in illustrator and I couldn't be bothered to change it to RGB before uploading it...

Getting a bit more confident/quicker.
I managed to sneak this build in, last night.
It's a pretty basic OD, but it has cool glitchy artifacts in the decay.

I converted this XP-200 to an XP-300 Space Station. Sounds great!
Also replaced the crappy plastic switches with some real momentary footswitches.

The 200-300 conversion or the footswitch replacement?

Both are actually pretty easy and work as expected.

The Space Station is a fun pedal. Not sure how often I will use it, but it's fun to have around and infinitely more useful than the 200 Modulator.

The mod itself is very easy. You just have to find the parts. To convert an XP-200 you need 3 RAM chips (with sockets), 3 10uF Tantalum caps and an EEPROM chip. There is a guy on DIYstompbox.com that will burn the chip for you. Honestly, the "hardest" part was getting the residual solder out of the unpopulated PCB holes for the RAM and caps. I recommend installing 18 pin DIP sockets for the RAM chips.

The RAM and EEPROM are widely available on Ebay.
