A Non-Hipster Pedal Board Suitcase

This may should be called a Redneck Pedal Board Suitcase.  I took a shitty carry-on bag that was on it's last leg, cut some 2x6's down, spray painted them black, splattered green paint on them, screwed them into the suitcase, added Velcro and some pedals. I need a suitcase of aural terror. Shazzam.

Below are some of the links and info that I checked into before I broke out my drill.

-Instructables version out of a briefcase-
-Another out of an old suitcase- this one looks scary

DIY Pedal EFX Schematics Links

My pedal board suitcase idea made me realize that if I did build it, I would need many more pedals, so here are some links to EFX schematics.

Fuzz Central- looks like they have some simple and sqrt doable fuzz boxes, some are clones too.
DIY Stomboxes- this is like the library of congress for pedal schematics
Paul Marossy's Pedal Builds- He has made many, and has examples, photos, and sounds of many of them
Pat Jankowiak's montag.com page- Also has a ton, most of the links listed below are from here


---Schematics I can totally do quickly and probably have the parts for---

Fuzz 001
- looks like the last pedal I built and stole the inputs off of.
Fuzz 002- looks straight ahead
Fuzz Face- Jimi's Fuzz- I have planned this out and may build it soon, and here is a link to the DPDT switch (6 point).
MXR Distortion- has some mods listed two for changing diodes, and what the mods sound like
Marshal SupaFuzz- it looks doable
The Mosrite Fuzz Rite- this is very simple if I can find the diodes.

Electra Distortion- This one is hella easy, hella!!
-Modded electra-

I think this is the 741 op amp based fuzz that I built and pulled the inputs off of- and the full websitez
