Let me start by saying I really have no business writing a build thread...because the actual real building was done by other forum members (I just designed and made the enclosures). But nonetheless, I love looking at everyone's builds and draw inspiration from them so I thought others might like to see the products of these collaborative efforts...I just can't speak on anything electrical haha.
Basically the Drolo circuit collection - three of his circuits.
The twin peaks ("Harmonic Tremulator") and liquid mercury ("Phase Modulator") were built by Cappone (aka Rumbletone), who did fantastic work. He also wired the phaser with phase stage switches, a cool mod.

The giant hogweed was built by Steve (TGP39) who did an equally awesome job! This is perhaps my favorite pedal I have ever owned! Yeah I misspelled giant haha (my wife proofreads my designs now lol), but I choose to act like I did it on purpose since it is a gain pedal 8)

Awesome! You have as much right to a build report as anyone and we all love seeing this stuff as well. Plus part of the fun is reading different takes and opinions on circuits, and of course... demos!!! haha Can never get enough of this stuff!
Dude.... holy shit.
These are awesome 8)
I am not worthy!
Great enclosure work! Where's the gut shots? You can still post those, regardless of who build them.
Said it before and will say it again, most likely many time. I love your etches. Great job.
Keep posting your builds.

Those look fantastic. I wish I had your talent.
The enclosures look as amazing in person as they do in the photos - so glad to have been able to contribute to these beautiful noisemakers, and I look forward to working with Dan on more of them!

I think they look better in person ;)
Thanks guys I'm so glad you all like yours as much as I like mine :)
you should name it the drool (o) collection. These are freakin' awesome. I saw them before and I'm astonished once again
Amazinnnn'.........!
Super cool looks and what a neat collection! Sweet stuff to enjoy and be proud of! Great teamwork and more than worthy of a build report by all means!
these are some of my all time favorite pedal enclosures.
I just love that retro, gritty feel. Damn.
Those boxes look amazing. The aesthetics are spot on and just look right.
insane looking things. I am envious of any man who has em.
Thanks so much guys

Yeah, they both did such a clean job on the inside I don't think they would mind me posting gut shots :) NONE of these had board-mounted pots by the way. I made it painful for them haha.

Pedal perfection. I would much rather solder and build the circuits than trying (and failing) to tackle making incredible enclosures like that! You did do the hardest part IMHO.
Great work! 8)
You have a great enclosure style, and those knobs fit the motif perfectly! I especially like the ones with different size/style knobs.
You already know how much I love your enclosures, but I think we should all take a minute and reflect on those three fantastic wiring jobs as well!

Man these look outstanding!
I demand demos! :-)

I will try to work on that man. I am not so savvy with this stuff...but we do have a older tascam 8-track recorder haha. I have no clue how to use it, but the next time my buddies are over I will have them hook it up so I can record something quick ;)
killer in all ways
So cool! That pedal board has got to be amazing...
Great work all round.
These are my favourite enclosure designs for ages. Right up my street!

It's coming along thanks to you guys! Actually I think I have more than filled it now. Maybe it is time to take a break :) I think by next week it will be completely packed and I will post a full pic. But here is a little teaser:

Wow, thanks man.
Just got the rest of my pots in the mail, so as soon as the supreauxish are tested and biased up you will have one more coming your way!
Kids excel in quality control. Nobody is as creative with pushing the limits of durability like a child who just LOVES making sure those stomps will actuate at least 15k+ times.
So much awe
