Title: Quetzalcoatl Drive, GrindCustom's Chimaera
Post by: diablochris6 on October 01, 2014, 05:11:00 AM
While I wasn't exactly dying to get my hands on a Klon, I figured it would be a fun build to do since Rej had these PCBs on sale. I call it the Quetzalcoatl Drive, since the Aztec deity is a chimera itself; the name means "feathered serpent." Central American mythology is some pretty rad stuff.

Anyway, the guts are a little messy, but I'll post them for posterity.

Nice wiring, for the amount of it and the cramped space :) (Impressive crammage!)

I also like the artwork on the front :D

Nicely done! Great job on the paint too!

I think I'm in the same boat you are. Not dying to get a Klon but I still ordered 2 boards from Rej while they were on sale.

Thanks! The paint is just gold rattle can, then I drew everything on with Sharpie markers, and finally, slapped some clear coat on.

Great job all around mate, there's lots of off board wiring with that layout and you've kept it very clean.

Enjoy the rainbow unicorn farth coming out of your amp!  ;D
