I am in the process of building a MEMS version of the 212 Dodeca module. There is a lot of front panel wiring on this module so MEMS designed a panel board which also contains the Electric Druid noise IC. There still is a lot of wiring to this PCB, but it is much simpler. I bused the grounds and parallel jacks to minimize the number of wires I had to align with the panel. I also chose to mount all the components on the rear of the PCB for access.

The main PCB has an edge connector for power and connecting to the reverb and headphone board.  I matched all the MEMS vactrols by function. The two board set is ready for wiring.

An aluminum plate mounts to the rear of this PCB stack for the reverb tank, and reverb/headphone board. I plan to hand-wire up my own using a Belton Digi-Log reverb module BTDR-2 to see how well it works (I have plenty of spring reverbs). I will also design a simpler headphone output using a high current op-amp. I don't need the power of a push/pull configuration for headphones.
