I got another project boxed up and verified this weekend! This one is an MXR micro Amp in front of a violet ram's head Muff multi one one PCB. The idea to pair the two is based off Jack White's setup and it's definitely balls-to-the-wall fuzzy goodness in a box!
I've been in an etching slump lately (more pitting than I'd like), but I'm pretty stoked on the layout/graphic for this one. I used a 1590XX enclosure which was a first for me.
I'm working on adding these and a couple other projects to my web store for anyone who is interested in one. I'll throw up an announcement in the buy/sell/trade forum later today.
Cheers,
Jon

Killer build. I dig that knob/switch layout.
I've been wanting to try that combo but just haven't built a Micro Amp yet.
This looks so good! I love that you made it look like an old school TV set. You could use the extra space in there as a carrying case for a couple 1590a builds!
Another great one Jon. You are really busting out the new layouts left and right. Can't wait to get my hands on a few of them. I check your site daily. lol

Haha! I was thinking about a battery but cramming a couple twinkies in there never occured to me!

Thanks Cody! I've been working on the site for the last few hours and I finally added the new stuff!
Really creative and great looking! Dig it!
Damned if that isn't some elegant wiring. Great build!
Superb inside and out.
Great idea :) fantastic looking pedal inside & out
would love to hear a demo ;)
Hey yeah, that's his Raconteurs setup if I remember right! The Micro Amp is built into that custom Gretsch Triple-Jet type thing...anyway, really cool idea!
Very cool, very stylish box, inside out! Dig it! 8)
Great looking build and yes, the graphics layout looks very pro!

I used to have the same issue, and it seems like I am more fanatical than most about pits. I'm not sure what you use for etchant, but I use Ferric Chloride, and after ironing on the printed resist, I started going over the areas i don't want etched with nail enamel. I haven't had a single pit since. After I etch, the nail enamel also comes off fairly easily with acetone. IF you're using Ferric chloride, you might give it a try.

Thanks for the tip!
I use ferric chloride as well but I think my issue has more to do with the transfer process than anything else. In the past I used model paint to coat the printed resist but I do prefer a little pitting so I stopped doing that. I just can't figure out what I'm doing different that is affecting the transfer!Oh well, I'll just keep spinning away and hopefully turn some straw into gold! ;D
I love this. Red and white wire with black solder mask is a nice White Stripes touch. Any sound clips?

Thanks! I will try to put a sound clip together soon...
I'm in awe of anyone who can get an etch done successfully. Nice work!
