I remember boxes of BASF brand cassette tapes in Dad's old hi-fi cabinet.

I remember the BASF brand floppy disks I used with my Commodore 64 as a kid.

on a side note: do you think one could manage to put in top mounted jacks with 2 pots?

It's might work with 9mm pots and lumber jacks but I'm not totally sure.  There's not a whole lot of room up there!

CJ, did you cut notches in them, so you could use the other side too? :)

That is a really impressive build.

Is that some kind of epoxy or glaze you used to coat the artwork like a Parks super glaze or envirotex?

Yep.  It's envirotex.  Pretty easy to work with after a bit of trial and error.

Those are like the orthopedic shoe of knobs and you even managed to make them look perfect.

WOW, beautiful all around. I thought about picking a couple of those encloses. Creative decal skills

Classy.
Clean.
Great work.
I build, and once in a while I might sell, pedals as "Vertigo Effects".

I have high arches! I need the extra support when turning knobs with my toes!

Seriously, though; that is a spectacular build. Graphics are understated and elegant. Guts are super clean.

So very sweet, both graphics and build.

I can't get over how beautifully symmetric the jumpers are. Did you have jigs for bending and assembly? If I tried to do that, they would each be bent differently, get crooked when soldering in, and have scratches/pliers marks from the shaping.

I basically stretched a long piece of bus wire, cut it into pieces, bent them across the thin side of a board, and inserted them one by one.  Finding a board of the right thickness was the key.  Other than that it was pretty easy.

You're more patient than me -- I would have just stuffed a load of zero-ohm resistors in there!
