I have 2 old DOD 270 A/B boxes lying around that I want to fool with, any ideas on easy circuits that will fit in these? (I already have a efx loop pedal, looking to have some experimental fun/learning with these).

check out www.generalguitargadgets.com for a number of pre printed circuit boards.
IF however you want to just throw something in there try out any of the Dan Armstrong effects as i'm pretty sure those originally came out - WITHOUT knobs.
Good luck.

Booster pedal would fit in there, again more holes needed
then some simple distortions would easily fit in there
thats a general idea anyways
the real question is what do you want to make?

Good luck. | +1 to all that- in fact, try out the Orange Squeezer and Green Ringer circuits on the GGG site. |

Just bought all the parts for the Green Ringer and Orange Squeezer, thanks!
Bongo, I dunno if you remember but a while back I told you I had 2 NOS Sparkle Green DOD FX25 pedals that were not working right, I ABC'd them using a multimeter and the 1 good FX25 that I got in the lot, think I narrowed down the problem, I get a different reading on 1 resistor (It seems to be the same in both bad units) than I do in the good unit & I am hoping these build experiences will give me the confidence to repair those puppies.

Or buy from Aaron at that site, also mouser, and small bear are good resources. |

the middle pole would be connected to the the common jack, then the A on one side and the B on the other
it is a very simple pedal, and doesn't require more than 3
