Etched enclosures

yeah looks cool...

Finally getting around to posting more pictures. This is a much more successful attempt at art via CNC. It's a stock Big Muff Pi, and I remember seeing this artwork idea posted by someone else on this forum so I decided to steal it

I think I got the first 300 or so digits.

Switching over to a new "brand name" with a new logo

That's cool Nathan! You could do a similar pedal with a "Clutch" / binary theme: 1000011.. And, everybody appreciates a good Sushi Box.

Thanks

When I saw how well this one turned out I immediately thought of doing a binary job

Super cool... I had started "branding" the backs of some of mine too:

Great minds think alike!!

Sheesh... you corporates!

Nice work, both of you.

awww, CNC? I was so hoping you'd tell us of all the punching you'd done. it looks good, tho.

wow those all look great. i never thought about branding the back of my boxes.

that big muff is awesome. i love how the SUSHI BOX is hidden at the end in the written out pi. so cool.

you can also see VOL GAIN and TONE, as well as BIG MUFF PI hidden in there. The letters are red so they stand out a bit better, but only when caught in the right light

Another engraved one I did a couple weeks ago, this is (yet another) Rebote 2.5. Obviously not a tape delay, but I like putting the tape on top to make people think of that

Labels are a little off center, but otherwise a very satisfactory pedal.

Finally finished my first etched enclosure. Turned out pretty good, couple little boo-boos where my masking was not good enough. Anyway, main thing is it sounds awesome. It's a version of GGG's late 60s fuzz face, with charge pump and AC128's. Really wooly sounding. It's a belated gift for my dad for Father's Day. Hope he digs it!

duck_arse · June 28, 2015, 11:06:22 AM

nice first post, statzern, welcome to the forum.

Jdansti · June 28, 2015, 04:59:41 PM

Welcome statzern! Nice gift for Dad!

tubegeek · June 28, 2015, 08:10:28 PM

Speaking as a father, there isn't even the slightest chance he won't dig it. Awesome present!

deadastronaut · June 30, 2015, 06:52:45 AM

cool first post and first etch...nice prezzie..

rocket8810 · June 30, 2015, 02:11:06 PM

most people use printer of some sort. i haven't seen a hand-drawn etch here for years i don't think.

I did some handdrawn etches, think I'll do some more when I finally find a new home/workshop

statzern · July 08, 2015, 02:20:57 PM

Thanks everyone. I am getting ready to do my second one. Upping the complexity, hoping for the best. Will post when done!
