Here are some photos from my most recent build. The Ross Compressor. I built it for a friend of mine that was looking for a compressor. Let me know what you think.

 I like the Rosscomp, I stomp on it regularly !
  Nice tidy black box you've got that one in.

Thanks. I love the way it soudns on the overdrive channel of my Fender Deville. It doesnt do the best for my clean sound,  but i think that has more to do with the pickups in my les paul.

So uh what were ur painting steps there. for instance, did you use a primer, how many coats of paint? did you sand in between? etc. Thanks and nice work! I'm just waiting for my board to build my own ross compressor, can't wait.

Probably not as complicated as you may think. Black automotive wheel paint from Pep Boys. A gold Paint Pen from Michael's Arts and Crafts.

I put quite a few coats of the black paint on. I just kept on layering it over a day or two. I am definitely happy with the results.
