Patching out an instrument for easy experimentation is a great idea – but drilling an array of holes and installing the appropriate hardware can be a bit of a hurdle to overcome. Experimentalists Anonymous points out this inventive use of a breadboard as a simple patchbay [scoll to bottom of page].

Wiring up the board should be pretty straightforward once you remove the breadboard’s backplate.
