Finally got this boxed up... I love this thing. This is the Gigahearts FX Doubel Ganger. It can be subtle or mad crazy with a twiddle of a few knobs. The phaser sound perfect and so fat and takes pedals in front of it very well. I am really happy how the art work came out on this one. The enclosure is a 1790NS and I did a reverse etch with metallic red paint.

Woah!!! Now that one makes me want to build mine fully featured...! :o
Looks incredible man!
Clean! 8)
Dang, your on a roll Cody! This looks beautiful. I love how the light reflects off the wet sanded aluminum.
That looks awesome! I see you skipped the shielded wire. Good to know that works.
Damn, very nice!
I almost never use shielded wire :) works so far!
Dude! You're just pumping out one great build after another. This is awesome.
Superb and what a cool awesome etch! 8)
Killer.

Wow, mega build dude, executed brilliantly as always!
Was listening to demos of this the other day and thinking building thoughts! I've probably gone in as far opposite a (out of?) phase direction as it's possible to get and decided on a Phase 90 on Pickdropper's 1590A board!
Outstanding etch!
Big enclosures with that much blank space are harder to get right, and this one is way better than right!
Fantastic.
I am not surprised that of all the build reports of this I like your best by far. Damnit Cody. That pedal is ridiculously handsome.
Very nice!!! I need to build one of these eventually! I thought I've been building a lot lately... We're going to start expecting a daily build report!
Awesome! I'm in the process boxing mine right now as well, also in portrait with top jacks. Seeing this is great inspiration to keep going!
This is just stunning--if I hadn't done the phasor ii recently I'd be all over this.
Can you tell me where you got those knobs? I really like the way they look an enclosure laid out in this manner.
Gah! I couldn't resist, I've put my name on the sheet for a board!
Thanks everyone.

I did, I tested it with a UltraStoner before it and also with a compressor and I had no excessive noise at all so I decided to leave it out for now.

Thanks, I ended up having to use a larger Rubermaid container since the one I usually use would not fit the 1790NS. I was worried about the amount of aluminum that needed to be etched away on this reverse but I just took my time and did it in small increments.

Haha, the thing is, when I do enclosure etching I do as many as I can at a time. Since taking out all the stuff to do the etches take up time and space I like to do at least 3-5 of them at a time. I was home sick last week and got the artwork for 8-10 pedals done and I already had the PCBs populated and tested just sitting around. It was time to get these all boxed up and on my board.

I will have to hunt down the invoice but I think they were from Mouser and I think they were these.

I bought so many knobs from all kinds of different sources 2 weeks ago. I wanted to try to find something other than Davies clones.

Beautiful build man! Can't wait to get mine built someday. Maybe I'll get up the nerve to try an etch as well. You make it tempting!
Good Lord! I have yet to see one of your builds and not be impressed. Way better than any market production pedal. It's just silly how talented you are. Silly I tell ya! :o
Steve.
brilliant in every way. like the red PCB / red box
executed to perfection and glad you like the sounds you can acheive
did you use the 2k span pots and the recommended LDRs?
ooooh, is pretty! :o
Yeah, this is gorgeous! Is that the krylon shimmer we talked about a while back? LOVELY!
Damn, dude. I was never planning on building one, but seeing yours makes me want it. Really top-notch, bud.
just fyi, your build report coupled with a new TC electronics polytune 2 mini lead to a complete rearrangement of my board tonight and I had to just put the doppelgänger on it. One of the LEDs inside got loose, so I fixed that and added heatshrink to the LED-LDR combos too. This thing is fantastic. I have no clue, how to play with a phaser but it was fun nevertheless. Takes up lots of space on the board though.

bit smaller than the real deals, and a lot shorter

Excellent.
