[sdiy] Tasty Crap in small packets

[The Peasant]

Hiya Batz!

Why don't you use the dreaded "slab o trouble" white 
plastic breadboards for jacks and hook-up wire for patch 
cords? Just solder a wire connection from behind to each 
separate tie point, and skip some for patch points. You can 
even insert individual components into the patch with ease, 
now thats flexibility! Just add more breadboards as the 
system expands, use the size that works the best, and best 
of all patch cords are dirt cheap!

Take care,
Doug
