Here are a pair of Aquaboys. 

First up is the Aquaboy PCB, I jumped on the etch face plate band wagon because its just a great idea, looks great, and the enclosure I got from Pedal Parts Plus enclosure sale made we wonder how I could get some artwork on it.  I used a Road Rage to up it to 15 volts.  Kinda tight in there but worked out and sounds great too.



Up next is the Aquaboy - BL from the Etcher's Paradise.  Also sounds great.  The ghost switch option does not work, so I removed the wires for that.  I also took some artwork my girlfriend had lying around and etched that on the enclosure.

Both look great! On the Ghost Switch - it may be that the 100k resistor is too high a value. It was just a guess.

Very nice builds! Both look great and clean but I prefer the Aquaboy - BL, I love the artwork.

Those both look really cool.  The etched plate looks nice and square with a clean border lined up with the edges.  That's the toughest part and yours looks arrow straight.

How loud is too loud?  What?

They both look great. I dig the hammertone paint on the first and artwork on the second. Very different executions, but both have fantastic results.

I'll have to give that a try.  Thanks for the tip.  I'll try it on my next build.

Very nice.  I really dig the top plate on the Aquaboy!
