Prototyping rig made from 99% junk parts. The only "new" parts were the DC jack, and the voltage regulator board. Everything else was salvaged or recycled.

It can accept tip (+) or (-) DC inputs, and it has adjustable voltage, banana plugs for monitoring voltages with the multimeter, 7 pots with solid core wire for plugging into the breadboard, guitar in/out with bypass, and it's all mounted on a piece of 3/8 plywood so I can pick the whole thing up and move it without things dangling and getting caught on stuff.
Salvaged parts include: plywood base, steel stud enclosure, pots, switches, in/out jacks, banana jacks, terminal strips, wire and (not shown) knobs.
I also left room inside for a headphone amp, probably a noisy cricket, eventually.
Notice the use of steel stud enclosure? I could have used the wire brush to make it shiny, but I wanted to get this done ASAP. It works great!
Nice job. :icon_wink:
I never got around to building something like for my breadboard. It's still a mess of wires, pots, jacks and other assorted crap flying around all over the place. I can make it all work though. Someday I'll build up a rig like yours.
I knew I was not alone with the "assorted crap flying all over the place" phenomenon. I did this mostly out of necessity, as I have a wife with a sharp dislike of the dining room table covered in electronics junk. :)
But it's not just for her... since it's so much easier to breadboard circuits now, I do it more often, which is great!
very impressive! I tried to do something like that... it was going well until the bowl of cereal and soy milk landed on top. :icon_redface:

Can you post pics so I can see this flying crap method ?
My camera's shutter speed is too slow to accurately capture the essence of the flying crap method. :(
