1776 Britannia into an old Swiss chess enclosure that I decided to tolex to get the vibe of an old fawn AC30 from the early 60's. The black plate is a repro JMI serial plate.
Great sounding circuit. I've owned the three-button Carl Martin AC-Drive and the 8-knob Menatone TBIAC and this thing holds it's own.
Have tidied up the hook-ups a bit since the photo. Not that happy with the knobs. If anyone can recommend some nice, small waterclear knobs let me know.

That is fanflippingtastic love the faceplate.  I've used these small clear knobs a few times and really like them

Nice recycle of an old enclosure. Very creative.

Tolex is a nice quick way of covering up the previous holes..

Love the faceplate & the tolex was a great idea (and a very unusual way to finish a pedal).

Very nice.  The circuit does sound really good.  Recommended build.

Awesome.  Tolex is a really creative way to finish an enclosure.

thanks all and thanks @Adam_MD for the knob suggestion.

That faceplate is perfect. Looks great all around.

Have you seen the Davies clone knobs that Lawrence has at BLMS? they look like they'd work well.
