Solar Flare

[Jakes Dad]

Was really hoping for a few more posts after Leevibe's Class of '77 (Woof!) but I guess somebody's got to jump in...

Here's my fresh new Nucleon Solar Flare (version 1) (modified Keeley Fuzzhead) in a Mouser Trapezoid Hammond box. Sanded the top of the box flat before adding graphics with transfer paper (touched up the lettering with a fine sharpy- damn my hands shake) then hit it with a couple coats of satin clear coat.  Build is straight up by the BOM with the addition of a GuitarPCB 3PDT board and pot condoms.  First plug in was a real downer (no fuzz-no bypass) until I figured out that I had very diligently and carefully reversed the tip and sleeve on the in jack - doh!  With that fixed I set the trimmers at about 50% - sounds so good I'm not sure I'll mess with those again.

Here's the face:

And the guts:

That looks fantastic Chuck. I love how perfectly sanded the top is and the chamfer around the LED.

Very nice indeed! Great look inside out and cool style!

Great to hear people are building these the photo won't show though (takes infinitely long to load)?

Very nice in and out. Those trapezoid boxes are really cool, too. Plenty of room on top for I/O jacks and power.

Great build, very nicely finished.
