A bit of shoehorning goin' on here...
So on my pedalboard I like to have the sonic stomp and a booster at the end and since I stumbled across Aion's excellent pcbs/great documentation.
So I couldn't resist upgrading this last in my chain always on pedal to his projects.
First the Aion Lumin / Sonic Stomp with extra tweakability compared to original BBE Sonic stomp.
Second the pre-amp section of Korg SDD3000 (one of 'the secret' sauces of the Edge of U2 they say on Aion Eclipse board).
And in an 125B enclosure, all controls on side (you'll see why), that means 6 pots, 4 toggles, 2 LEDs in side of 125B.
Gimme the shoe horn... or the hammer, whichever is more handy... ;D

putting in SDD3000. I mounted some of electrolytics sideways to allow for jacks etc.

mild swearing going on by now... ;)

... by now thinking it might actually all go in without using a hammer...

Holy crap. That's just epic. Brilliant solution!
DAAAAAMMMMNNN!
That is really cool. One hell of a drill template you had.

Good gravy that's impressive!
Steve.
WOW!
Wow! Extremely impressive.
Nice. Not only did you shoehorn the boards in the pedal but you shoehorned the pedal into the pedalboard. It's a shoehornception.
That is pretty nifty! Nice work.
I think I did some mild swearing just looking at the process. This is unbelievably sick!
you're nuts to even attempt it. even more impressive as it turned out this good
The whole concept is pretty genius! And the execution!
IMPOSSIBLE!!!
OK then, incredibly unlikely!!!
Wow that's sharp, and a ton of stuff packed into it. Really nice!
Wow, that's muy impressive

love it :)
very nice to see some different arrangement of the pots ;)
very innovative build
Wow! Very, very nice! And the always on concept is getting some rusty gears turning in my head. Thanks for the inspiration.
Nice utility build. It's certainly really well done.

Whoa! Really well done!
Wait... this can't be one of Cooder's boxes. I think I see labels on the controls.
Impressive, as usual. Great job Stephan :D
Thanks for the comments, guys, much appreciated! :)
It certainly was a bit of a squeeze and wrestling with off board wiring...
This build made me think that it would have been a fair bit easier with smd boards saving space; but then the Aion pcbs are excellent and have great documentation (check them out if you haven't yet I'd say...!), so it was satisfying to get them in there and have it firing up first time after the wrestling with wiring which could have given an issue somewhere. Testament to the 24gauge Smallbear pretinned wire, it works great IMO.

Ha, you got me there, Lee... ;D
Nothin' wrong with labels though....
as long as they don't mess with my swirls... ;)
