Probably the first stompbox I was ever introduced to was the BMP. A good buddy bought one and recommended it.
So, I splurged and bouoght the BMP Deluxe. ( which is the op-amp version and a really nasty compressor )
Since my ear and my playing were just getting off the ground, I used it all the time and got very familiar with the tone.
Many years later, now in the days of the net, I discovered that peeps like ourselves were going back, tracking these circuits,
and bringing them to life. So I did my homework and discovered the many variations of the circuit.
The etch on the enclosure didn't turn out exactly as planned, but I went with it
Here's a recent build: Ram's Head with 5088's ( that I need to solder into the sockets )

Etcher's Paradise board ( shout-out to the Bean-man )
The enclosure didn't turn out as planned, but I went with it and just sanded off the edges.
I'm pleased with it. It certainly isn't a clean etch ... but hey, we can't all be dudes like Dminner.
And here's a bonus pic of the happy cat manager photo-bombing the gut shot photoshoot.

I think happy cat manager is micro-managing your photo shoot there. :)
Good looking pedal though!
That's a beautiful etch and clean guts! I like it a lot!!
The etch looks great!
Nice. I think the etch looks fine.
