Damn that's ugly

 

[Harry Klippton]

Well, um, at least it's .... different?

Hey @steviejr92 can you bend me an enclosure like this?

 

[Erik S]

I don't hate it...

Pretty interested to know exactly what "Custom Designed CNC Case" means.

Looks like they may have machined it from a solid block which I don't think I've seen before. I guess depending on volume that might be cheaper than a custom casting.

Beautifully atrocious.

Anyone doing enclosures more interesting than I can do at home gets my approval even if it looks like the Michelin man painted black lmao

Idk man that thing is terribly ugly

Here’s the thing though like @Erik S said I don’t hate it..

Tone Lok meets brutalism. I like the concept, but not into the execution. I agree with @finebyfine above.

It looks like 3d printed plastic to me.

They probably spend some serious cash getting that designed and manufactured. CNC from solid billet?

High material cost, but probably low set-up cost compared to casting. I bet it might work out cheaper up to a certain volume.

That doesn't look fun to tweak the knobs...

Cool idea for a case though.

 

[Feral Feline]

I feel the form factor is fantastic!

So long as your pedals either side aren't too close I bet tweaking knobs isn't an issue.
Even if your pedalboard is cosy, I bet a prod with a finger tip is enough to dial in your sound.

All the labelling is clear and legible, the lines on the knobs easily indicate your settings.

Again,

[Feral Feline]

My Big Feet wouldn NOT be able to kick the crap out of the knobs and loose my settings or destroy pots.

I'd like to buy a few and gut them and stick my own circuit inside. Cheaper than me trying to replicate it myself.

 

[KR Sound]

The more I look at it, the more I dig it. I like the dips in the back and the angled footswitch and its compactness.

Oh FUCK that jack layout

 

[benny_profane]

Oh FUCK that jack layout

100%

 

[Feral Feline]

Oh FUCK that jack layout

Gotta agree with that!!

Usual in/out right and left with the dipswitches OVER the MIDDLE power jack, please and thank you very much. However...

I understand why they had to configure the jacks like that what with the recessed pots&knobs.


Yin & Yang, always there must be balance — the good with the... not-so-good.
