Built for a friend. Went with a Neutrino and Fatpants. The Fatpants is stock. Added a switch for the Neutrino for Asy/Sym clipping. Borrow (with permission) Captain Peyote and Grind Customs Switcheroo idea for making a order switching PCB.
This build was a big project for me. Etched both boards and the order switching pcb. Spent a great deal of time making sure everything would fit in Photoshop. It was a lofty goal for me and it was successful. I really was disappointed in the cleanliness or lack of in regard to wiring. Maybe not enough planning in terms of wiring.
Anyway, this is a fantastic sounding combo. First time I played through it the family was out if the house so I really got to crank the amp. Before I knew it I had literally broken a sweat! It was a lot of fun, which is what it is all about. I'm going to deliver the pedal today and hope this enjoys it half as much as me. I'm thinking I need to build one myself.
Thanks Brian for so many great projects!!!

That looks awesome! multis are something I haven't had the guts to try yet
Fantastic. Multis start out with good intentions on wiring, but quickly gets out of hand. It turns into I just want to get this finished.
That looks fantastic! Really great idea on the graphics. I don't think there's anything to be ashamed of with your wiring. It's orderly and it's only going to get better with each build.
Thanks guys. Yeah Jimi, I started out very patient and quickly turned into 'man I hope this is going to work!'. I rocked before I boxed but with the order switching and 2 foot switches and the power bus I figured that might have an issue. Likely fired up first time.
Thanks LeeVibe for the encouragement. I had a graphic arts student design the artwork. She was glad to do it for a little bit of money and something to put in her portfolio. In fact she's giving me permission to share her contact info if any of you guys are looking for someone to do your artwork.
This looks really good! I'm liking that Memphis skyline. My parents-in-law live a short hop away from the Pyramid. Just about to be down there as a matter of fact.
really nice, i dig the layout
Looks great Phil! You know it is a good pedal when you can't stop playing it the first time you fire it up. :)
Beautiful work!
Very nicely done all round!
Hey this is great! Especially since you etched your own boards...
Thanks guys!
Juansolo, thank you for the envirotex tutorial. I have found that despite my best efforts, when the envirotex cures, it pulls away from the edge, sometimes leaving an uneven edge. Is there any way around this?
I can't really tell from your pictures but do you cover the entire top or just the sticker?
Entire top, no sides
Great job inside and out. I love the artwork and color of this also. You got the waterslide process down to an art now. I love how the transparent colors still show the sparkles.

Great job holmes! Are those jacks from Tayda?
Thanks Selfdestroyer. The difficulty with transparent waterslide is anticipating color... Originally the accents were orange, add the blue of the box bleeding through the orange and you get what you see above. If you use a darker color there will just be certain colors you can't get. I'm learning.
And yes they are Tayda Jacks, they require a little attention (bending) sometimes to make a solid connection but seem fine other than that.
Odd that, we don't have a problem with the Envirotex shrinking. Not sure what might cause that.

Seeing how I messed up my first ET job by putting on too much, it got me thinking and I took advantage of the certain property of fluids, namely surface tension. I decided to spread the ET over the sticker only and make sure it was indeed up to the very edge. On one hand, surface tension will keep it nicely from flowing over the sides (unless there's really too much of it). On the other hand, it would also "stick" to the edge of the sticker. Turned out great, exactly as expected. Sure, not all the way to the edge of the box but absolutely no wiping drips! Physics FTW! ;D
That said... granted, I've only done a few boxes. But I just can't see why it would shrink? Maybe you didn't plug the holes and it's leaking inside the box?
I made the mistake of not plugging the holes well enough once:) made a real mess not to me too looked bad around the holes. Wonder if it has to do with the name brand - I'm not using 'Envirotex'. Can't remember the name off hand, maybe Parks
That's a really beautiful enclosure. :)

Great work and congrats for the first multi!
look, i had the same problem with a epoxy resin like envirotex. i've done the top and the sides and i had a shrinkage on the edges. it could be the resin. they can have diff formulations and i know that some can shrink more than others... What i did, was to pour a little bit more on the edges after done. Still not happy with it. my best coatings are still with automotive rattle spray can, but needs a lot of coatings...
Very nice!
Looks great! I think the wiring looks clean, too. Really nice job :D
Thanks guys.
