This is my first post, and second project which I just finished today.  My first project I'll be posting tomorrow, and is something I'm VERY VERY proud of (something you wouldn't expect to see bent).  I'll have a video of this + another one on youtube either tomorrow or within a few days probably, but anyway..

I've seen a few PT-10s bent but are all using external boxes for the controls and I'm not so much into that so.. well, working with VERY limited room (as seen in a picture below) I soldered everything to the brown side of the circuit board (impossible to use the green side due to space), and had to work hard to make enough room for the wires so the thing would still close.  I think the finished product looks pretty good aside from how it's not perfectly symmetrical and I had to make one switch a little slanted to close it...  It's not got a whole lot going on, and no actual pitch bend knob since there's not enough room for a pot anywhere but the mods are..

-pitch down extra octave
-drum rhythm extra loud
-overdrive/distortion
-A switch that changes the keys to a sort of Mario jumping sound [press a note and it scales upward, goes slower if you hold it down]
-button that creates high pitch that varies with volume slider and reacts to drum rhythms
-button that adds loud fuzz and reacts to drum rhythms
-four body contacts for odd fuzzy noises/combination with noise buttons
-added a 1/8" output

Nice work.  The PT-10 was my second bend as well, though I wasn't able to make everything fit so nicely inside like yours.

do you have any pictures of the circuit points for your bends like the mario thing and for the noise filters with the drums
i just finished this project last week, but i didnt find those particular bends. what i did about space was just got rid of the tiny speaker since i was adding a headphone jack anyways.. think these tiny keyboards are cooler with all the mods and no speaker, then its a mystery, waiting for someone to plug into an amp or stereo and totally annoy everyone in the surrounding area
