Hi fellas, this is Tight Metal-Dragon Armor build I did on my pcb with added 18v operation. It is monster, I never heard pedal with this much brutality. I am super satisfied with it 8) Enclosure is etched and painted with black and than clear coated. I used detour switching for it and I called it 8515, 'cause this year I turned 30..
Here are few pics
Hope you like it
Cheers
Brane

That etch is perfect!
That looks amazing!
Thanks, I really enjoyed building it :)
Very impressive.
That is bad ass!
Awesome etch!
Top class !
Mich P.
Insane skills all around!
If only I had half of your skills dude...I'll never learn to etch...
Such an awesome build. Love that etch.

Wowzer that is great, excellent sir!
How does this one sound vs. the triple wreck circuit? Hard to imagine something more brutz than that one. I would love a single channel ultra-gainer in a 125B size box.
Looking good!
Great build, all around!
I gotta try etching.
Great build and etch. Gotta give etching another shot.
Back to front superb! Class!
That is sick. I'm tempted to ask for a board.
This is superb Brejna. Does the red light (standby) glow when it's off and the green light when it's on? That is super clever. And I agree that the etch is perfect.

Great looking build. That etch is top notch.
Nice! Did you ethic the enclosure itself? If so, how did you do the toner transfer? Looks like a big box, heat-wise.
Thanks.
Thanks everyone for kind words, I appreciate it.

If you want that brutal metal tone, for my ears tight metal is pedal for that. Triple wreck's active tonestack is very usefull, but gain is different and it can't compares to tight metal. I never heard before pedal that can handle 7-string guitar low tuning this well.

Red light is on when you hookup power and green is for on (standby) just like peavey's 6505 :)

Yes I did everything, I am transfering design with iron like toner transfer method suggests and enclosures gets very hot..
I added clips with some 7-string improvising and some 6-string rocka rolla :P
The Gate is what truly puts this circuit on the next level, to my mind, as well as the brootz.

ahahaha
Glad you like it. Pedal sounds huuuuge :D
Outstanding! That is a beautiful build. Sounds awesome, too.
This is definitely a must have circuit for metal. I built one a year or so ago and was floored by it's awesomeness.
Great build, really awesome. Nice chops too Brane 8)
Thanks, it is keeper for sure and it really is meant for what its name says 3:) METAL :P
@ chuckbuick: I was thinking when I first so your build to try smd version, but couldn't find all parts for it.
sweeeeeeet, nice job!
