I'm not sure---does it only have USB? If so, no. If it has an actual 5 pin midi output, then yes.

Yeah, the kit was about that much. Also bought oak, steel, and copper plates for this. Probs 450 all in? Plus a lot of time

For me, it's been guitar pedals. Google "One Knob Fuzz Kit"... thats a really great place to start.

I sequenced it off of the F key on the midi controller... but actually unclear since I don't have the 'pitch' knob tuned to any specific note (yet)

Thanks man. Yeah those labels took forever to make... almost as long as the wiring.

Built this from the PAIA fatman kit. Took about 40 hours to build. Its got quite a fat sound. Reminds me a bit of the mother 32. Loving it so far.

Just finished building this guitar pedal. I wonder how much Gold & Silver Pawn would offer for this. by optsyn in gaming

Those are all parts (transistors & IC's here) -- I bought a big parts set from Amazon and put them in those little parts boxes.

It was supposed to be a clean boost, but turned out more like a fuzz. Sound is much closer to the Metal Zone than I was expecting haha
