Build your own clone Armstrong Twin Project

Saw an article in Premier Guitar a few months ago about this company that designs and sells guitar stomp box kits.  I have been wanting to make my own effects for some time now and was inspired to give it a go.  This series of entries will chronicle my efforts in constructing a BYOC Armstrong Twin kit.

The Armstrong Twin is BYOC'c version of the Dan Armstrong Orange Squeezer combined with his Green Ringer.  The originals were manufactured in the mid-seventies and have been long out of production.

The Orange Squeezer is a basic compressor.  The Green Ringer is a ring modulator although it is said (I have no idea personnally) to sound more like an Octavia.
