... well, probably 3 or 4 circuits with submini pots if you're SMD junkie like wgc or chuckbuick or stacking artist like juansolo.
I go instead for 2 today, that'll do me.
I'm not a huge Marshall fan yet you needs some in ya' life don't ya?
So rather than having two boxes and a bit of wasted space I'll get these two flavours of a similar hotrodded Marshall type of thing into one box and can select between them.
The bottom left circuit is a Lovepedal Purple Plexi on my own designed pcb, the top right one is a DAM Sonic Titan, again my pcb design (both pcbs oshpark fabbed).
Both circuits do the balls to the wall cranked screaming Marshall thing quite well I think.

And this is how I'll mount them in the box, put a DPDT switch to select between which one is active.

A bit of shoehorning, the DPDT is a bit burried away...

WOW!
Damn, thats a tight build! Great job!
Awesome execution there.
I had one of those "Why didn't I think of that" moments :)
Clever with the angled PCBs. Extra points for that!
Damn, Cooder, you've just been killing it lately!
Brilliant idea and brilliant execution.
That's very creative use of space. Nice.
That is some damn fine crammin and swirling!
I'm impressed that you even THOUGHT that would all fit. It even looks like there's still room for a battery. Nice!
By the power of Greyskull! that is awesome.
Cody
no room for battery? (jk lol)
awesome build stephan, finish is sweet too! RAWK! 8)
Nice work, sir!
Love that finish, too!
Thanks for the kind comments, guys!
Glad you like the squeeze.... ;)
If anyone is interested I have a spare Lovepedal Purple Plexi board left, 10 bucks shipped anywhere.
Most excellent my good sir! 8)
Merlin's beard, very impressive :-)
What did you mount the relay board on? Or is it just hovering in the air with a magic spell ?
It's all magic..!
Love the swirl! Are you dipping them, or is there another way you're doing these?
This is a thing of beauty! The swirl looks great as always, great creativity cramming that all in there!
Outstanding! Great job packing all that in there. Must've been an exercise in patience.
BIG LIKE! :D
Very nice execution! 8)
Thanks again for the kind words guys! :)

Thanks Drolo, the relay board is held by the LED which is epoxied onto enclosure, also the wires keep it from moving. A construction that works well enough for me and hasn't given me any issues yet. Sometimes I secure the relay board with double sided foam tape or a little dollop of epoxy on the side to enclosure, but in this case that wasn't necessary at all.

Thanks wgc, the method I use is somewhat similar to a tutorial that floats around the net, I think you need to google "Dragonfly's tutorial" or so ... in fact I just googled myself, here it is http://www.aronnelson.com/gallery/main.php/v/DRAGONFLY-LAYOUTS_0/TUTORIALS/HOWTO/ (http://www.aronnelson.com/gallery/main.php/v/DRAGONFLY-LAYOUTS_0/TUTORIALS/HOWTO/)
I also use acrylic paints for the effects and then topcoat it with several coats clear satin polyurethane. Of course you can use high gloss or envirotex or so, I just stuck with satin because fingerprints and dust etc show less.
Getting the right consistency of the acrylic paints is important, you gotta experiment with that. The good news is if you stuff up an enclosure and it looks meh you just hold it under water tap and wash off as acrylics are obviously waterbased. Start again.
I buy testpots of acrylic paint at hardware store, cheap and you only need a small amount as you dilute it with water anyway.
My best results of dilution is when it drips readily off a spoon when you take it out of mixing container. That's probably 2/3 paint and 1/3 water mixed in, but as said you'll need to experiment with your specific paints and how you find your way of messing it up in style ;).
I don't have any photos of me doing it because the problem is that it's incredibly messy and I don't want a paintjob like that on my camera.... so need to find someone to press the button while I'm messing around.
If you guys are really interested I might try it somehow next time to take pics.
It's actually good childish fun to do the paint effect, just do it outside, old clothes on, rubber gloves and a smile and go nuts...
cool, thanks for the info!
I've been dipping mine, but this looks like something I might try too
