Title: Octavias !
Post by: jalmonsalmon on April 03, 2015, 10:14:20 PM
 Here is one of my strip board builds of an Tycobrahe Octavia clone.
For the longest time it was just an plain off white enclosure but, I purchased a P-Touch label-er and wholla...
I am still not good at getting perfect labels to line up but oh well!
I may end up adding a pre-gain 9mm pot to this one in place of the input pulldown resistor (50KB), I read that helps out with the upper octave. Sounds great still but this thing is pretty over the top!
some eye candy!  8)

This came out great John. I love the fresnel lens and the beautiful labeling.  I really need to give perf a try.
