Please remember that somebody, somewhere loves you, cares for you and doesn't want you to torture yourself this way!

Seriously, that's way up there on the 1590A 'no way they fit that in there' list. Nice work!!!

Clean build & I dig the copper/black/silver color combo.

I grabbed a cheapy blow torch from Walmart for E-Tex bubble removal and it was much easier, IME. Not knowing if you've done 4 at a time before, I would also say maybe only do 2 at a time. It'll be much harder to get the mix right without waste this way, but whenever I try doing more than 2-3 at a time, the last one doesn't seem to come out right, or at least it's harder to get it to look as good as the first one or two - the stuff REALLY does want to be mixed then poured quick-like. Again, this is from my little (relative to others here) experience with the Envirotex.

It's like an alien version of Deliverance. I love it. 

If I had any reservations about this one, it would've been smart comments stemming from the graphic combined with the Alabama outline, but it's going to a guy in California, so it balances out. 

Thanks, folks. I think the pic was originally posted in a forum, but google search wasn't too hard - I just typed what I remembered happening in the pic and luckily it came up before I had to view any nightmare fuel. This one has definitely reset the measure by which I will score pedal graphics offensiveness. I may post the whole pic here - the lady at left is fending off the invaders solo....but then you notice the swine aren't fighting or really even detesting.....definitely more questions than answers in this piece.

NSFW especially if you work on a farm (or are a pig).

An online friend wanted a 2-n-1, but couldn't really decide what he wanted and complained I was throwing too many options at him. I knew he liked aliens, so I told him 'OK...you're getting aliens, something offensive or both'.

SHO aka "Key Bump" (just a little boost) into a Green Russian Muff on my Ancestor Fuzz board. I've built up several versions of Muffs lately and am liking em more and more. There are still versions I need to try and I can't BELIEVE I have yet to build myself a 2-n-1 similar to this. I really like the Triangle and may do an opamp boost into one.

Notes: frikkin MEASURE, folks. The Ancestor Fuzz boards were meant to go into a 1590BB in a portrait layout, so I did some quick eyeballing and loose measuring and got to "aw shoot, it'll fit!". Then I discovered the knob placement was going to force wiring post instead of board-mounting (which meant a good bit more wiring underneath). THEN the height of the 1590BB was giving me trouble with the jacks hitting the board, so I had to swap to the open jacks (I've been using enclosed jacks). I think the height of building in 125Bs and/or the space of building in 1590BBs has spoiled me as far as clearance - I think back on the stuff I've crammed in a 125A and can only wonder why I hated myself that much.

My prediction: 100% good girl!

Wow-WEE - that looks great, inside and out. Those trans orange knobs are sharp!

I love the decal idea and think you nailed what you were going for there. Two cool circuits housed together and a clean build, for sure. They do sound great to be so itty-bitty. The Electra kinda made me scratch my head for a long time, having only seen it: "Why has everybody done a version of this puny-looking circuit?". Built one and it didn't take long to get my answer.

That's sharp! Diggin' the knobs, the enclosure (of course) and the imposing electrolytic. Small suggestion would be snag a plain bottom plate from Small Bear (I still think it's really cool he sells these separately) for velcro, then if you ever wanna part with it or affix your pedals in a different manner, you have the virgin, swirly bottom plate on standby.

Very cool build. You definitely knocked the swirl job outta the park!

This kills me. All I can find on Dolores O'Riordan is that she had back issues recently. Wonder what happened. I know not all "believe in" or agree with methadone, but I have been a counselor at a clinic for nearly 6 years and seeing music heroes fall to it as well as normal schmoes like me who seem like genuinely nice/good folks, it just sucks.

I was at a conference in October '16 and, although it something that anyone could have already realized, hearing someone say, "...had Prince's handlers had Narcan, he may be alive right now" was a punch to the gut.

I wish I had all the answers or a magic wand, but sadly I'm like a lot of others and have more questions than answers.

You built it on vero, had to troubleshoot and now it works - hold your head high, sir!

But wait, there's MORE!

Nice work 

I'm having serious laser envy.  Very nice!

The over-the-edge etching is next level....another banger, Mr. PD

When I see "never again" from pickdropper, all I can think about is I'm glad I wasn't there.
