Here is another Plimsoul clone that I had fabbed. For this one I decided to remove the ground/9V planes in hopes that I could eliminate some noise issues I had with the last one. I also used a 10KB pot for gain and a 50kA for volume to help mitigate the issues. I'm not having any issues with it other than a high pitched squeal when the pedals output is plugged into the amp and guitar is not plugged into the input. Anyone know what would cause this?
I also chose a bolder font for this one and used a brushed copper enclosure from PPP. This is the first enclosure I've bought from them and I am extremely happy with it. These "brushed" finish enclosures are great for laser etching. From what I can tell, the brushed finish is actually achieved by sanding the enclosure prior to powder coating. It eliminates the possibility of blemishes beneath the surface and would be perfect for etching large areas.
I have to say I love this pedal right now. It is a very smooth/creamy OD and it does clean up nicely when I reduce the volume on my guitar. If I could just get rid of that noise I would be satisfied!

They definitely look great for laser etching! My jaw dropped when I fist saw the results. It would be especially good for etching large areas so you can avoid possible blemishes beneath the surface...
Nice! 8)
