Two more builds from this week

[gül]

I'm out of work on temporary disability. I'm supposed to stay off my feet, so what better thing to do than finish up some of the myriad of un-finished projects I have on my desk?

First is a Sonic Titan in a 1590b enclosure. I just love the D*A*M circuits. The PCB was etched by me, storyboardist layout (over at http://effectslayouts.blogspot.com). The enclosure was done by my wife. She used india inks on this one. I think it came out fantastic. One of the inks she used is sparkly, I tried to show it with the flash photo below, but it looks sooooo much better in person. Wifey now has a stack of blank enclosures on her desk, waiting for some love. 

Next is an Echopathetic in a Hammond 1590b enclosure. I usually don't spend the extra dough to get actual Hammond brand enclosures. I have to say, the Hammond was easier to work with in a lot of ways. For example, on this enclosure I used india ink to paint the pedal with... On the non-Hammond enclosures I tried to paint with the ink, it would streak all over the place and not stay put on the surface no matter how much I prepped the enclosure first. All I did was use some steel wool to prep the Hammond enclosure, and the ink went on beautifully. The drilling was smoother, too. Worth the extra money, IMO. I did the lettering with those Posca markers that Paul of DIYguitarpedals.com suggested. They're great.

Anyway, the Echopathetic circuit was designed by allesz. I etched the PCB from the storyboardist layout. Most folks don't seem to think this effect is worth boxing, but I absolutely love it on guitar. I had the BBD chips, so why not?

Those are really cool looking!!  I really dig the paint jobs on them a lot; and the guts look great as well.
