Title: Meathead
Post by: billstein on May 23, 2013, 01:14:16 AM
This is my first attempt at etching an enclosure. I still have a lot to learn and it could definitely have been executed better, but I think the grunged out look does fit the sound of this pedal.

I like the big 8mm LED on this build.

Looks awesome.. I must hear it. The etch looks perfect for a Meathead like you said. Fits it perfectly.What caps did you use for the dark settings?

That looks great.

I want to try an etched enclosure. I have a design already done but I'm a little scared :D

It was 47nf for the input cap and 100nf for the output.

Thanks.. I posted that from work and when I was driving home I felt stupid since I just looked at the dark ver on Mark's vero layout on Tagboardeffects. I jumped the gun on the questions.

No problem. It was real easy for me since I had just done it.

Gotta admit that it took getting over some fear myself. It's a strange process. It starts bubbling and the box heats up. Kind of like a Mad Scientist thing.  ;D
