Well, It's done. I haven't labled everything yet but my pre-amp, Psycho box, amplifier is done. The jacks on the right side of the face allow me to patch into each component separately. I included a switch to turn off the speaker so the headphone jack lets me listen to the effects - while the unit is quiet. The "tone" knob is actually a panel mounted gain control. The box actually held wine and I painted the top because the embossed design didn't work with my layout. Oh and when I finally get things labled, the amp definitely goes up to 11!
