Three coats of Metallic blue enamel ( baked ) and "rub on" decals.
Laquer yet to be done, It will house, stm's "SSS", ROG "Condor" 4x knobs one SPDT switch
for low end cap swop and two 3DPDT foot switches.
It's not "bowed" just the photo being "wierd" !!

Two more photo's after laquer and another "Bake" it's my best finish yet
Nice deep and glossy, hope the photo's show that.
This is how it will look, with switches/knobs, " HBP" is "Hand Built Pedals " .
Wire up and LED's etc to follow ....

Yeah, it is !   it was an old Peavey EAC8 a relay switching unit, which had 8 jack sockets
on top ( hence the extra hole ! )
It's almost as big as 2x 1590BB's side by side and about 7mm deeper.
The bottom section is a kind of battleship grey, so I'm leaving that.
I wish i had some more, its a great box :-(

Marty, how do those 'rub-on' decals work then?  I'm after an easy way to get white text onto a black enclosure.

They're made by "DECAdry" and come in various sizes/designs at about 2 bucks a sheet.
You get about 10 of each letter plus some punctuations  etc.
You line them up ( fiddly !) and rub over them with a soft pencil, they stick to the surface.
You pencil rub over again with some greese proof paper, then Laquer  they stick quite well !
I have some in black/white and gold

How does that SPDT / cap change works (as in wich ones, how it changes the sound)?

47n cap after the condors fet, down to a 22n or maybe 15n, just "thins it" a bit at
input, i was finding it a bit "fat" sounding.
I may put on the Marshall cap switch as well.

Ah, OK.....

Mine is too "weak" sounding.... so I cannot use this mod!

That's very odd ! did you change anything from the schem ?
Mine is quite a big tone and not at all "bright" enough, I love it though
I noticed that you thought it "breaks up" and isn't good for a clean tone, i don't
have that problem even with HB guitars .... ?  problem perhaps ?

No, I did not change anything.... I only removed the FET due to the distortion, but that leaves it "ball-less"; I already have gotten a fixing idea (check my other post about the H&K)
