A good example of a proto pedal would be something like the Beavis board, but that doesn't seem quite like what I want. Phatt, I plan on this being a sort of learning tool for me because it will help me create a ton of different pedals even if I don't settle down on one which I want a permanent copy of. Then I can tweak and learn with a ton of different designs.

Before I order everything I want to nail down my plan. Would this work for you? I want to install 2 pots, 2P3T rotary switch and a stomp switch. The pots would be A100k and B250k. I figure with a couple R on the breadboard I can turn the 250k to whatever I could need (while changing the taper just a bit...).

My intent is to have a project that would help me prototype 90% of any likely projects I could do. Then if needed I could throw some trim pots/misc switches into the breadboard. Would this setup seem like it'd work for you?

Good advice not using it on stage, the breadboarding that some people have posted is totally what I'm thinking about, and this solution is more for prototyping and hobbyists.

So for something like this, would you prefer ease of use, and simple options? or would you prefer it to be way customizeable, and tons of options?

I'm  trying to figure out if these things are worth building, Occasionally you see prototyping pedals where all the dials and switches are built into a pedal, and you get to arrange all the electronic guts (ICs, resistors, caps etc.) to make any pedal you want, and fully customizable. So basically it's a shell of a pedal, where without soldering you get to make/modify any pedal you want, and you can even build/tweak exact replicas of almost any pedal. If it was easy and cheap enough to do:

Would you ever use one to sculpt your unique tone?
To learn electronics for fun?
Or if you're electronics savvy already, would they seem useful to streamline pedal projects?
