Wow, beautiful paint and etch

That looks great. I got into screen recently. I started with Jacquard ink too. THEN, someone turned me onto system 3 acrylic paint and print medium. Mix any color you want, add around 40/60 paint/medium and screen away. Create any color, drys quick. Completely compatible with spray can clears. I really recommend giving it a try. I am able the clear it around an hour after screening it.

that pork barrel is awesome! I would have never thought to use those slider switches with standard circle holes, but it actually looks really!

And here is the new reverb (thanks to dan.schumaker for whipping up the reverb board for me! It had been sitting for months while I was distracted with other projects.):

I haven't posted in awhile. Here is some fun stuff you might enjoy.

I picked up two old audiometers recently and started building in them.  One is a boost/fuzz/filter machine and the other is a spring reverb (still finishing that one up).

WOW. That is unbelievable.

How did you do the multicoloured stuff? this looks much too multicoloured to be etched and spraypainted.

can't believe this is DIY, just way too good

Yeah, I became bored with etching and don't really do it anymore.

For this:
- tinted acrylic panels (look at the edge on the third pic, I used light blue panels)
- 11x17 color prints from an office supply store (placed underneath the panels)
- and done.

I am currently working on a smaller unit with fluorescent green acrylic.

BOTY competitor right there. That thing screams for some kind of capacitive touch plate for expression control.

DUDE! Now I am a little bummed I didn't think of that!

And

I thought you guys might like this. I have built a lot of huge oversized things, but this is by far the biggest haha! Including a toddler for scale.

I did some graphic design work for JPTR FX and he sent me some board, so this is his Jive circuit into his Fernweh with some added features (like a weird glithcy modulation circuit). I dont have a final wiring pic, only a midway one, but it shows how much room is inside haha.

crazy and big for sure. Well, as the others said, this is epic beyond words.

any pics of the spaghetti interiors after wiring? (just to make us feel a little better perhaps? )

Haha. It started out super clean considering the insane amount of wiring. But then it spiraled out of control just a bit...

More pics

Never again!

But turned out awesome. Modded pds20/20 and fuzz circuit in massive metal tabletop enclosure. All arcade buttons light up too.

Well those are really off the charts with clever ideas.

How is the relief on the metal faceplate of the crap-fi made?  Is that etching?

Thanks guys. Yes, that plate was reverse etched
