    Okay, so I've done all the Centre-punching and have drilled all the mounting holes out to the correct size, all that's left to do is to cut the pot-shafts to size, do all the wiring for the pots, footswitch, and in/out jacks and then install and wire up the Tagboard, after a quick check out with my multimeter it will be ready for trying out with one of my guitars and my Peavey Backstage Plus amp, I'll see if I can do a demo of the pedal a bit later on once I know it's working correctly, for now, here are some more pics of the build process:

    And a quick test-fit to check if everything is going to fit, fortunately it all looks good:

    The blue dots on the pot shields are just to indicate the most anti-clockwise position of the pot-shaft so I can correctly wire the pots up so that they work like they're supposed to, there's nothing worse than having to de-solder the wiring to a pot because it's wired back-to-front, i'm sure some of you have done that at least once, I've been there and done it too.
