Fuzz addict club! If you don't like it fuzz off!

Whats left to do on the OCD clone?

Why not both? :thumbsup:

Guess Im just skittish and lazy about it haha. All I have to do is the offboard wiring on the OCD. I was pretty confused about it but Ryan from BG pretty much sent me a diagram of exactly what I need to do. I still haven't done it. I think in the back of mind I feel like it won't work when I get it done and I dont want to fail at it. Even though I know if I do, then figure out how to actually fix it Id learn a lot. I just need to do it. Im going to set some time aside to do it this weekend, see what happens.

Yeah wiring the footswitch can be chore, for me anyway. After a few times though I got better at it, and even replaced the faulty footswitch in my BDPG and it works great now.

If you have room for it, especially on those small board kits, getting a super inexpensive foot switch PCB is very helpful. Just solder the foot switch to it, and you have nice connections for in, out, power, etc...

Yeah those are nice! Really Id like to "retrofit" all my pedals to soft switches. Forget etching and graphics, smaller enclosures, top jacks, etc. for me, I just want soft switching.:)

There is a place in the uk that sells complete kits for a relay switching system, relatively cheap. AMZ used to, but they don't anymore, they just sell the PCBs and maybe they still sell the relays.
