Title: Current Lover
Post by: pickdropper on April 22, 2012, 09:52:36 PM
No fancy graphics for this one.  I like the look of the polished case with the silver hardware.

I currently have it biased for use with a 12V supply (sounds better than at 9V).  At some point, I may throw a road rage in there and see how it does.

I'm really loving the clean industrial look. That enclosure actually looks like stainless steel. Makes it look very 'current' indeed.

Digging the metal washer for the 3pdt as well.

No, I have sanded enclosures in the past, then I found out that I can buy polished enclosures for only a few dollars more, so I am just going to do that from now on.  I got this one from Small Bear.

Really nice! Looks Like something you need a sledgehammer to destroy! :)

cool, looking at your pedal kind of reminds me of a 1970's stereo receiver, makes me want to do a build that looks like a vintage receiver

You know, I guess it does kind of look like those old 70's receivers.  It weighs about 50 lbs less, however.  :-)

It wasn't difficult sourcing parts. I think I got everything from Small Bear and Mouser.
