Title: Azabache Verde
Post by: Droogie on March 24, 2014, 08:05:22 PM
I got this board on the forum a while back, from someone other than the designer, who I believe is Jubal. Definitely a nice circuit—still playing around with it. Seems to be quite a bit different than the Black 65 even though they are both takes on Fender amps. The box is from PPP—reminds me a little bit of my first electric guitar, a two-tone smoke green/mint green early 60's Gretcsh Anniversary (in natural light it appears darker). Didn't have mint green knobs though....

Nice color combo.

I don't know how you keep track of the knobs on the ones you build. :P

Looks great, Droogie!   I like the color scheme and nice job with the wiring too.  For the larger hole around the LED...I'd say you can probably tighten that up with a bezel.  I'd be glad to send you a few if you don't have any...just hit me up.  That Lumberg jack looks sexy too!

Especially with ODs, it's pretty easy to remember—either VGT, or GTV in this case. If I get serious enough to put something on the board, I'll likely label it. And btw, this with the Cardinal is really fantastic!

I have plenty of bezels, I'm just going through a phase of not using them (you do have to be more precise with the olde drille). I might poke around in the craft store to find something to tighten up the LED situation.

I really like the color of that enclosure - do you remember the name PPP uses for it?

Had to look it up—OBD Green. No idea what OBD stands for...

I think those knobs look good with the green.

OBD Green is probably a misprint.  Prismatic Powders offers a color called ODB green that's described as "sage green with very faint dark green specks"

Huh, I actually have a pedal in one of these enclosures already...no wonder I liked it!

Me too! My Cosmopolitan. Still one of my favorite of the basic colors. Your build looks really cool.

I too like the color combination
