Not only small, but etched as well! 4 new liitle ones (two tall and two standard).

Excellent builds, as always One of my favorite things about your work is that I can tell it's your work just by looking. You have your own distinct style, and I dig it

love the ufo graphic...cool.

The graphic was suggested by GiovannyS10. I ran out of ideas and he helped me with this one and the next one I'll finish. The artwork was supposed to have writings for the pots, but I got a bad transfer for two of them and ran out of dryfilm, so I decided to remove all the writings and just keep the graphic.

Lars' builds are amazing looking, as always!

My First attempt!

18th build of 2018. Shoot The Moon tremolo. I used a trimpot for the gain pot and added the ramp switch mod from the Tremulus Lune.

Aloha! My contribution and first post here. A clone of EQDs the Depths. I'm inspired by all of the great etched enclosures I've seen here.

Welcome Killer build, really clean etch. Thanks for sharing

The tubescreamer and the echo found a new home on a friend's pedalboard – and now I miss them.

Here's a photo of my newest etches before I ruin them (or rather give them the used, vintage look) by spray-painting and drilling.

They will be a Tubescreamer, Prince of Tone, Jon's Snow Day OD, Deep Blue Delay and Bockett Blue Note.

Really cool

How are you etching your enclosures?

How are you etching your enclosures?

Hey! After sanding the enclosures (not too much, 400 grain usually) I apply a coat of "Kontakt Positiv 20" UV resist, develope it according to the datasheet and etch it with 24% hydrocloric acid from the DIY Store. If you do this, assure good ventilation as the fumes are quite dangerous!!!

Shameless cross-post from the main pictures thread because I'm proud of how this turned out "Pre-Verb," my 6N16B tube-powered BTDR reverb, finally boxed up this weekend.

Nice one!

How did you cut the small vents?

Nice one!

Thanks I have a small (7" x 7") CNC machine that I use for the vents. Takes about 25 minutes and well worth the effort in my opinion

Dr Boogie I did a while ago.

Wanted to double-post this one because I'm excited SMD/submini version of the Soldano Supercharger GTO.



Guts, top and bottom of the board:

Wow! That's just amazing!

This one is really small!
With all that space you could use a 1590a!

It looks like that the only big parts you used are for the SMPS, I guess SMD is the way to go. Are you selling those boards?

I was thinking about using 16mm pots, but the 9mm did let me keep it nice and small. I do 100% SMD designs for work and it's made me appreciate the space savings. Plus I like being able to fit just about anything comfortably into a 1590B, no 1590A's for me though

And I guess if anyone wants a board I could sell them? I have 10 extras  Plus I think this is the first board I've done that I didn't make a mistake on Maybe I'll throw a For Sale post together when I get home to unload the ~50 surplus boards I have lying around.
