Stairway to Eleven (TB MKII)

Here is an npn tonebender MKII using the stairway to eleven layout I did a while back in collaboration with forum member MichP.  The idea was to design the PCB to fit inside MacWalkers wedge enclosures that he offers here on the forum. It also fits nicely in a 1590bb.  The project can be found here if anyone is interested in etching/fabbing one:

I actually finished this one a long time ago and decided I did not like the wiring and tried to redo it. Unfortunately I botched the whole PCB while desoldering and ended up chucking it against the wall in frustration.  I had to basically start over but at least I was able to salvage the transistors.

I forgot to snap pics of the top and back of the enclosure which are also etched (control labels up top/artwork and build info on back). I will add those too when I get a chance.

I like how you sanded the PCB, gives it a cool texture. Also the etch looks like a ancient sand stone artifact. Love it!

So cool.  I love that wiring.  Awesome etch, too.

Hey Jon Congrats.
Etch and wiring are ok for me.
I still use mine all the time,
what a classic.
Have fun,

That looks really really cool!  I'm digging the etched board and etched enclosure vibe!

I'm liking that etched wedge a lot too! Those look like 2n388 transistors...if so, nice NPN score.

I really like the etch. That came out really cool
