The knobs are just black davies copies...I think I got them from PPP. Since oxblood knobs are nowhere to be found I just bought a can of maroon/burgandy spray paint from Walmart. I did three thin coats of paint and then three thin coats of a clear matte finish. So thin in fact you can just barely see the black showing through on the pointer. I held the knob with a dowel rod while painting, then let air dry. When the final coat of clear was dry, I baked them in an oven for a short time. So far they have held up good.


Good luck!

I have to have a set of these knobs for my Sagittary! Please post a link? I couldn't find any and had to settle for brown face fenders!

Sweet! Which diodes are those?

I have seen demos of a few of the Strymon pedals and they are wicked awesome!

+a million!

Have you guys seen/heard the Strymon Lex?!  I know is DSP driven, but holly molly does it sound good...

Wow, thanks Ian. Lots of work to bring a board to being fabbed or etched for the rest of us. Really cool that those that are capable share with the rest of us!

So how does Brian/anyone else for that matter start a project like this? Like the previous Carl Martin project...the Plexitone...are there schematics for all the pedals on the planet somewhere just waiting to be copied/built by anyone? I assume there would have to be a schematic floating around for the AC Tone in order to make a copy, right? How does this work if circuits aren't usually patented, therefore schematics aren't redily available? I have the seen the KLONED project and I get how that was cop'd by reverse engineering it. I am probably revealing my newbieness but just curious.

I would be interested in a rotary/leslie style pedal. 

Dude!! I'm speecheless...the instide of that thing is sweet! Oh, and the outside ain't bad either. Well done.

Brian - If you like the texture and the way it feels...who are we to judge? Roll how you want to roll brother!

Should I not be using mine for toilet paper? Is that bad?

(clever, it is!)

Care to post a link to your fleabay source for the rest of us?

Just for the record...I did NOT like the work-a-likes that I posted the picture of above. They sounded muffled and just not very clear compared to the 1n270 or BAT41's.

I noticed they have been down as well....

A+ Really nice job!

Here are the 1n34a "work-a-likes" from Smallbear.

ahhh....it's probably empty...(he he!) Come on we're all family here right?!

I'll tell you that I have read all the tutorials available and I still had a heck of a time. I will be trying a new paper that I think Brian and some others are using for their boards. It's a digital paper(not sure what that means). I hope it works better on enclosures because I love the polished look of the pedals I've seen but this was a bear to get right.

Sweet! I'm sure there's tutorials on etching hiding in other forums, but I'd read it if ya wrote one!
