Who here wouldn't like having a Dminner and Davent set of enclosures on their pedalboard? :)

Thank you guys for the kind words!

JMK's Flender Bender... a bit closer then last night.

Assembly board (removed), used solid 20awg for the pots that were going close to the pcb psitions then one 20awg lead and two 22awg stranded for the pots far from their pcb position.

Mostly boxed and seriously rocks (today) !

Like the little Davies knobs but hate the gap they leave betwwen the knob and enclosure so filed out some fiber washers to fill the gap, adequate...

Thank you!
Mouser has the washers, 3/8", if you can find 7/16", that'd be perfect but no luck so far. They're soft enough that little effort's needed to open them up abit with a rat-tail file, to slip over the nut. #534-3222

Disregard the image. http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Keystone-Electronics/3222/?qs=zfzUrXoPZmiqhiSt05vgkw%3D%3D
