Oh dear, here we go again!
I love the rules, especially no theme, SMD and digital allowed, basically open slather, allowing commercial builders if they DIY it themsleves, I think that's more than fair and adds to the spirit of the comp.
It is not clear if one can design a pcb and have it manufactured for this contest, can that be answered before someone else asks the question?

I have only one disagreement with the rules, that is, points for "mojo". Rare parts or not, mojo is a bone for me. I think its time to bury the mojo crap, a well-designed circuit will sound good without requiring special parts. If a particular circuit will only sound good (for example) with a rare Ge tranny that costs $25 then I think points should be deducted not added. In fact any pedal that uses hard to obtain parts should have some minor points deducted IMO.
OK rant over, if I only have one bone to pick, that's pretty good!!! I will submit an entry but have no idea what it will be, something very simple I hope.
As I said, I love the rules, very good, very fair, well done!
