Here's my first run of the SHO with a master volume. This was my first perf build so the first board was quite spread out, but the second is much smaller.

This ones not supposed to look pretty, but the later ones hopefully will.

I did a pretty terrible job of fitting this in. I used pieces of the thick paper instruction sheet for my Pedaltrain to cover the circuit when the pedal is all closed up.

Heres the back side.

Here's the second board I made. The enclosure is still drying but it should be up and running tomorrow. I got it much smaller than the last one.

And here's the underside of that one.

These sound really great. There is a lot of gain on tap with it. I have the schem to add a tone pot, but I think it is amazing without it. It really twangs with my tele.

if you run that into another SHO its basicly a superduper.
I did one and used a 10k.

If you run five of them you have a Box of Rock. Zack is very thrifty with his circuits :lol:

Not to be a nit-picker, but I believe the Box of Rock is 3 (or maybe 4?) SHOs. the Box of Metal is 5 SHOs. 8)

So the natural progression:
1 SHO --> SHO
2 SHO --> Superduper
3 SHO --> Box of Rock
4 SHO --> (Uncharted water)
5 SHO --> Box of Metal

I believe the Machine has 4 SHOs, but they're aren't set up in series (cascaded).

I like the idea keep it up. On a side note, where have you guys been getting your 5k C Pots? I can't seem to find them in any of the usual places, and I have no idea how to find shit on Mouser. Any help?

you can buy 5kc pots at pedal parts plus. but you can also use a 5ka or a 5kb pot and it will work fine, and you probably wont notice the difference either.
