I can see space for a few more knobs.

Between this and the diablo_chris' rotary...  You guys win teh intarnetz today.

While I appreciate the sentiment, diablo_chris's rotary build is INSANE.   Props to that guy.

Awesome! Gotta love those happy accidents. Probably the powder has some tiny pores as a result of a small application/ baking mishap that is hard to see without much contrast.

I changed around my 3pdt wiring a bit after doing a few high gainers. The typical way we do it puts the ins and outs right next to each other, inside the switch. Now my led is in the center column.

Try setting for oscillation and put your finger on the switch contacts to see if you can get some type of change.

I didn't notice pores under the microscope, but I also wasn't really looking for them.  Either way, it's funky.  It was a new type of acrylic paint, so there's that variable as well.  I'll keep experimenting.

Yeah, I'll play around with the oscillation when I make time to crack it open again.  Apparently, a lot of folks on FSB had issues with that as well, so there could be a wrong part value in there, too.

Wow, insane. Not a big fan of pots on the side but that is a stunning job

Yeah, side pots aren't ideal, but fitting all six on top wasn't really in the cards for this build...

Great results. That accidental etch should maybe become an on-purpose etch.

Thanks.  I think reproducing this as an on-purpose etch would be a recipe for frustration.  We'll see, though.

I suppose I could put some on the bottom, but that might make it sit funny on the pedal board.  ;-)

This one wasn't the worst, actually.  Once I did a 2-in-1 1590A that had all this plus a 3PDT toggle and 2 extra LEDs.  I'm NEVER doing that again.

And thanks for all the kind words, everybody.  I'm constantly impressed with the builds here, so I always enjoy sharing mine.

Good gosh. Amazing build. There needs to be an emoticon/emoji on here for jaw on floor.

Wonderful job, Dave. No matter, if it was unintentional or not, it looks killer. and obvioulsy, squeezing 6 knobs into a 1590A is pretty much insane. Kudos
