Title: lil lius
Post by: cjkbug on June 07, 2011, 05:36:00 AM
here's a lavache from a board I etched in a 1590a enclosure. painted with pastel green enamel. I didn't pay close enough attention when wiring it up and connected the 9v to the output. the volume pot caught on fire when I tested it...DOH... I replaced the pot and it all worked out in the end(http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j471/cjkbug/P1040108.jpg)(http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j471/cjkbug/P1040107.jpg)

Very cool!  Is that a stamp or a decal?

BTW if something's not burning then it isn't DIY right...?   ;D

Sweet!! Nice job man! I like the finish! Where did you get the Les Lius graphic? Did you just lift it in Photoshop from a Les Lius pic?

Also, I would suggest putting a small piece of electrical tape on the lower left corner where you have the 2pdt switch. Switched tend to rotate a little bit over time and if those lugs start touching your enclosure, you'll ground it and have some problems later :)

there a lock washer on it and it's cranked on there real good. I doubt it's moving. as for the graphic, it's a stamp from the craft store and acrylic paint. the stamp for the tchula came as well, in a pack of four stamps.

The artist is Dawn Hauser. Here is a good shot I photoshop'd from the catalog if anyone want to decal it on.

How does it sound?

really nice touch responsive dirt. I've been getting my jollies from the low gain end of the spectrum. just finish a hunny bunny and I like that one a lot, it's super dynamic. the colorsound overdriver sounds great in the lower end of the gain control too.
