Hi guys!
I bought some wedge-shaped enclosures from Mac Walker (here in the 'emporium'), and they are great 8)
I thought I'd use them for some 'vintage flavoured' circuit as well... so here they are:
a TB MKIII loaded with AC128s and a Retrograde.
I'm reasonably happy with the finish too: fisrt time I used Hammerite.
For the grey enclosure I used the hammerite rattle can. A couple of light passes seem to do the trick.
For the purple one instead I first applied a coat of primer (with a brush - you can see the red blobs in the guts pic...), then mixed blue and red paint and applied with a sponge.
Sound wise the TB is an absolute beast, thick and rough around the edges... I love it!!!
The Retrograde circuit is a quirky one: the controls seem to have little effect on the sound, specially the fuzz pot....
The octave is all there though and the fuzz tone is nice and huge - think led zep with the octave disengaged and Hendrix with with the octave on!
Well, enough talk... here's the pics

Nice! I've been thinking about picking up some of those enclosures.
Lookin slick dude! Interesting I've never considered the sound of the retrograde minus that upper octave... Intrigued, I am 8)
