if you feel the chorus is too loud, replace R9 with a 100k trimmer and dial it down

but of course you would have to take it apart a bit to do that  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Mine seemed ok to me (stock bypass).  Just ever-so-slightly louder (not even something I'd call louder, per se), realistically like a second guitar just joined in.

Wow, I really suck at finishing things!
Was originally going to laser etch this, but decided to try a decal instead.  Some roughness on the edges, but not too bad.

Left some water on it in my hurry to take a picture.   ::)

I still have a chance to mess this up. 

Edit:  A dry pic:

Love this thread
Glad you like it.   :)

Update: So I cut the holes, and it did not go perfectly, but I have a nice solution.  The LED hole got crappy white edges like the stomp switch in this pic, but I have some modular furniture shelf pin sleeve grommets (basically eyelets) left over from my Theremin Fuzz build.

Very cool. How you get the white letters? What kind of decal is that?

It's a white decal, inverse printed, i.e., I matched the cobalt blue through trial and error.  Color laser printer.

This is the specific product:

I had to label which jack was stereo somehow.   ;)

Glad you like it.

MAJOR setback with this project:

No idea how this happened.  The finish seemed so stable for so many weeks up until now.  :'(

That looks like ice crystals, so cool :)

It does look pretty cool like that... Is that in the clear coat, or did it fall into your vat of meth? :)

That's very strange.  I've had that happen but not weeks down the road.

How loud is too loud?  What?

I wonder if I can remove this with an ice scraper.  (I might actually try something like that to salvage this.)

Is that a painted enclosure or is it powder coated?

If it is painted, did you use an enamel based paint and then try to clear it with lacquer? That would explain those results.
