First two builds of the year. Collosalus and Harbinger 1.5. both were fun builds and went together smoothly. No finish on the enclosures yet cause it's too cold in Detroit for doing anything in the garage. Thanks Bean for the insightful build docs, couldn't imagine building these projects without them.

Nicely done. Looks clean on the inside!
It's heading for 41 Celsius here today, I'll send some heat your way.
Massive builds! Very clean looking work. Good stuff.
Your drilling and wiring is looking super professional! Really nice, clean work!
Thanks guys, my technical skills have come a long way in the past year. My wiring is still a work in progress but it's getting better. I wish I could improve my aesthetics but that will come in time. On the harbinger I soldered my first and jfet. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I hope to be as good as you all one day!
The SMD fets are worth it just for peace of mind knowing they're not fakes. I'm kind of becoming a bit of an SMD fan cuz the parts are so cheap.

I think your right about the smd fets. They are cheap, readily available, more consistent and not fake. I think I did pretty good for a first time. I bought a bunch of 5457, mpf102 and j201 smds. I'm ready for the foreseeable future in any build that uses jfets.
Nice builds! Where did you get the adapter board for the smd JFETs?

Thanks!
Here's an update- I tried my hand at labels and have come up with a style that is me. It incorporates my love of marvel, growing up in the 80s, analog and guitar pedals with the simplistic style of Boss pedals. Here is the style I will be using from now on and my collosolus flanger updated.

I really dig that man.

Thanks Jimi, I'm trying to find MY look. I'm a minimalist by nature and thats one thing I have always liked about the boss/roland line. I love that everyone here has their own thing going on and wanted to find that too.

Love the look. Let's see more :D
That's a great graphic. Good work.
Yeah dude, that's RAD!
Thanks everyone, I know it's simple but your encouragement means alot. Here is the harbinger

So here we are a year later since I first ditched the dymo label maker and took my first shot at making labels. A lot has changed but I decided to revisit these and do some actual enclosure art. I feel I've come a long way since I did these and here are my new designs. The uni-vibe was simple, Cyclops. The mxr flanger was stupid simple, Brian gave it to me in the project name, Colossus. It was fun revisiting these and I have another one I need to do to finish out these first attempts at graphics. Thanks for all the inspiration and encouragement, you guys really push me to be better at this.

Thanks John, the no film is the shit! It makes doing enclosures super easy. Even going back and doing old drilled out enclosures is a breeze
Those are awesome man.

Pretty cool to see that skill set grow over a year. I'd be able to recognize your stuff in a heartbeat and it's a great look.
Thanks guys, now if had had more time to play them haha

What? We don't actually play these things, there's not time, too much to build.....
