I just finished building my Rustbucket. I squeezed it into a standard 1590BB (etched) with side in/out jacks and a top DC jack. I also installed a relayed true bypass. I love this pedal!

That's a beauty of a build - heck of an etch and nice job fitting that in so nicely, I get nervous when it's that close
thanks! it actually wasn't all that tight. ;)
Nice etch, love the call back to vintage ehx
This looks incredibly clean. How did you get the bare surface so smooth and glassy?
Impressive work!

thanks. I just sand the enclosures and polish them on a buffing wheel.
You've got the PCB elevated to just below the lid, doncha? :) Long legs on the pots, right?
One hell of a drill template.. This is some "next level" stuff. Perfect looking.

Beautiful work both outside and inside. I once tried to polish a enclosure but that didn't work at all. Care to share how you do it? :)

yeah. I used regular solder lug pots and made my own 'legs' from solid core wire. that way, not only could I make them long enough so the the PCB would sit on top of the jacks, I could also get them closer to the top of the enclosure.
I mounted the 470uf filter cap on the underside of the PCB since it wouldn't have allowed the lid to fit if it were on top of the PCB.

I just sand the bare enclosures with a Makita 5" RA sander. first with 150 grit, then 220 and finally with 320. then I polish them with benchtop buffer.

Alright, thanks. Do you use some polishing liquid? Does it stay that great looking over time? :)

I use polishing rouge on the wheel.
and yes, they stay shiny.
That's about as clean as they come!
wow, what an amazing clean etch, great job!
What kind of jacks did you use for the input and output? I cant see them in there!
I used amphenol enclosed jacks.
