Long time since i boxed and showed something here...

This is a gift for a friends newborn son. You may guess his name.

The circuit is a Skreemah, my take on the TS / madbean opensource grean bean with small mods.

Cheers!

sweet build, Bengt. How did you do the coloring? blue enclosure sprayed yellow, taped, then sprayed red?
the only small constructive criticism I would like to provide is the LED. I would have gone with yellow or blue fitting the enclosure.  :)

Thanx for asking. I'm playing with some new techniques. This one is actually quite simple, a bit timeconsuming though. Very close to your thesis:
(I add another pic, more true to the side coloring, i skipped this pic in the first place simply because it has unwanted dustspots and the direct sun killed some of its sharpness)

First i sprayed the box yellow and the lid white. then taping them together to sync the tape, and carefully (well...) cut the tape between the lid and box. Then sprayed red on the box and yellow on the lid (you see the lid is yellow, its next to the gutshot pic above^^). Then i carefully "bursted" some yellow and blue to the box sides, and blue on the lid sides. Then remove the tape and carefully (well hhrrrm again...) sanded the small edges that occur between the color layers; finally clearcoat, wetsand and polish. I'm not sure the "burst" added any artistic quality, but i felt like trying.

Cheers

Very creative work on the enclosure.  I'm curious about what's holding the LED in place.  I don't see any glue.

The top middle lug of the stomp switch is wired directoy to one leg of the LED, I believe.

Yes that is correct. The LED cathode leg is directly soldered into one stomp lug. A small bend on the leg and it will stay in place by its own tension. I find it convenient.

The orange and yellow stripes work really well Bengt. Noel Overdrive is a great name for a guitar player, so the gift is bound to get plenty of use.  :D
