Quick survey : DYNA or ATOMISOR ?

[tubelectron]

Hello All StompBoxes DIYers,

Would you please let me know which of the 2 stompbox finishes here you would prefer, or dislike, or... ?
You can also tell me why, if you feel to !

N°1 = "DYNA"



N°2 = "ATOMISOR



Thanks for your advice,

A+!

dyna for me...

it goes to 13...

[artifus]

+1 dyna

put the atomisor label on the bottom plate (base) - it looks cool, like something you'd see on the back of some old gear by the power inlet. me like.

[tubelectron]

Thanks deadastronaut & artifus,

So, advantage DYNA...

DYNA is the brand of the French manufacturer of the plate which goes to 13 (long time out of business).

ATOMISOR was a French manufacturer of spraying systems for medical purposes, from the 60-70's (probably out of business too).

Anymore advice, then ?

[rockhorst]

In the current format: Dyna for sure.
Atomiser could be a winner, but it needs a different knob. Run with the blue theme of the label, bringing the separate items together in one design.

[Kearns892]

Dyna also. Love the plate.

[CynicalMan]

I'd say they're both sweet, and you should do both. If I had to choose, though, I'd say Dyna. Still, I really like the ATOMISOR plate. 

[robmdall]

Dyna for sure.

But I have to say I am not too fond of the On/Off switch plate??

[tubelectron]

Good - Thanks to all for your participation and advice !

Finally the project evolved in 2 versions, and the boxes needed to be a bit bigger :

that plate is upside down!

[artifus]

maybe it's a friendly warning as in 'pushing this button is a no-no'

Yes ! I just felt funny to put that FSW plate upside down, as an additional oddity...

A+!

Those are really great!  Remind me of 60's test equipment.  Big clunky switches and bolted on labels.

[tubelectron]

Thanks Processaurus,

You're right : the plates comes from 50-60's audio or industrial equipments... I collected them before the units were dismantled in the early 80's. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to coolect them all at the time. I hope I will have the time and the occasion to find others !

The white one "Melodium" is intended to be a fuzz with a switchable scoop filter, the black one is finished and is a kind of "Santana-sounding" overdrive booster, with 2 gain presets.

A+!

[penti]

simply fantastic, you're a professional. I wanted to do something. congratulations

[rockhorst]

WOW! Those would look cool on any pedalboard!

[tubelectron]

Thank you, guys !

I had the time to an internal view of the ATOMISOR :



It works well with my old Fenders and ES-335, giving me that "violin-like-Santana" sound imitation...

A+!
