Over the weekend I built and installed the Speedball kit for my Crack. The Crack has been up and running for a couple weeks so I figured it was time.
Unlike my Crack build, the Speedball went textbook perfect. Last night I gave it a good listen and it does sound nice. Just wanted to share a success story as reading these threads makes you wonder if these things ever go together as intended. :D ;D :)

You do realize that if you don't include pictures we turn up the distortion knob over here and turn it into and AM radio.

Just sayin'...

Actually it does (now).
But you're correct in that at the time I took this pic it did not. Man you have some good eyes.

I'd take some more pics if it wasn't nicely tucked away in the night stand ready to rock.

Seriously, I thought that was Josh's sarcastic way of saying "show us the underside." You can tell that this one doesn't have it installed? Wow.

It's pretty easy. It doesn't have the screws for the standoffs, and you can see the 3KΩ resistors peeking through the vents.
