Title: The Morris Chorus (Pork Barrel)
Post by: MadPostman on June 30, 2012, 10:33:40 PM
This was my first attempt at etching an enclosure. It was a lot of trial and error (http://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=5324.0), but it came out ok. My original intentions were to paint "Morris" blue and the rest of the etch black but I didn't do this because of the depth of the etch, it's very shallow. I was concerned that any more sanding would further remove the detail.

I added the LFO mod with a blue superbright LED. Super cool.

This looks great! It makes me wonder why I didn't just use a 125b on mine...oh yeah, because that would make way too much sense! I can't go doing that. I do like how the LED looks with this.

Nice build man!  I think it was a good idea on Brians behalf to remove the mods.  I recently made a video of the old pork barrel (with mods).  I dont think they were very good.  Yours with no mods / smaller enclosure is the best combo.

Great looking etch too!  Gotta try it myself one day.
