Title: Boom boom boom boom
Post by: jimilee on April 28, 2021, 01:25:47 AM
Fuzzzy! The finish is trash, I need to go back to enviro. I finished it while I was working at home, so that's a plus.

What finish did you use? I was just thinking I should try a boom boom

I like the design of the graphic. It's a fun pedal, on bass or guitar!

I picked it up because enviro is tough with 9 mil pots, they're too short. I kept using it because it's quick and easy. As I learned, it doesn't work quite as well on solid backgrounds.

Well at least it looks good on the inside! I totally feel you about sticking with Enivirotex though, I used spray clear coat on a couple of enclosures recently to try and save myself some hassle (Envirotex is a bit of a pain on 1590As) and they came out like garbage so I'll definitely be sticking to it in the future whenever possible. It's the only finishing method I've found so far that produces consistently good results.
