Title: OftenFX Supreaux Deux
Post by: selfdestroyer on July 20, 2014, 10:53:36 AM
I have been sitting on this PCB that I populated months ago and really wanted to get it boxed up. I did a basic reverse etch with the always loved Supro logo and slapped it together. This thing makes my Riviera sound so mean through my Twin Reverb, I love it.

That's beautiful! I'm jealous of your etching skills.

It is so clean.  I assumed it was laser etched.

Its a reverse etch, so the silver parts are higher than the painted area.

Nope, just good ol laserjet transfer etch. My process is in my signature.

Might have to look into getting an enclosure etched by you if you'd be down for it, most impressive stuff all the time! 8)

I feel so bad since I still need to do at 125B for Jacob (JMK) but the 125B's I got just don't etch the same. I still need to buy a few from other sources to test. Timbo gave me some ideas to try also.

My bench time is so erratic that I hate committing to things that I have a hard time delivering. But.. when it slows down at home and work I will be building like crazy and would love to etch some enclosures for members.

I have a question about the Supreaux:
I was looking at the ROG project just before this was posted, and I thought it recommended using a 15-18v supply for best results.
Is that correct? 'Cause it doesn't look like there is an upgraded supply in this build.
I just wonder because that kinda turned me off to building one, since there are so many great overdrives without the added parts.

There's an on-board charge pump for 18V.

Excellent build, so clean inside and out! Nice green shag carpet too...
