Title: Bad Head (Doombutter)
Post by: mcallisterra on August 16, 2019, 06:03:05 PM
I built a Doombutter (Mid-Fi Clarinot) a few years back but didn't really put any effort into the enclosure. I found it tough remembering what the controls did without labels so I sold it and decided to build another with an etched enclosure this time. Both times I used Haberdasher's awesome etch of the Doombutter (thanks Keefe!).

I went with a worn-out looking etch to match the vibe of the circuit.

Such a fun circuit, and very musical and usable at the less-than-crazy settings!

Appreciate it! I'm kinda glad the circuit fit a worn look, because if I'm honest I didn't have to try hard to get it. Good job I wasn't going for a pristine one here!

That's a cool etch, the distressed look is great! Really like the design and layout you've used, winner all round!

Thank you! I'm glad it's a circuit that kinda fits the distressed look because it was not a very successful etch. The reverse ones are hard since the reaction gets out of control so fast from a temperature standpoint!
