cool Doc so it has a base plate to screw into the box ?

have you worked out the total cost of all the parts Doc ? be interesting to compare to the cost of a pre-made Axis pedal

@ Peter think the trick to pedals with 9V batteries is to make sure the input jack is unplugged when not in use. I think if left plugged in they drain the battery. Sure the battery would get a fair bit of life if you remembered to do that

Yes, the Diecast aluminium box does come with a base plate which attaches via four philips-head screws, as a rough estimate, my Axis Fuzz pedal cost me about Au $50.00, a factory made Axis Fuzz will probably cost anything up to maybe $300.00 or so, so I reckon building one has worked out cheaper for me.
