"How much more black could this be? And the answer is none - none more black." Obsidius Build

[mbenbranch]

Obsidius build for my professional bass playing brother. Really dig this one, might have to build another for myself.

Also, apparently the build docs provide valuable information on which boards are spaced for 1/8 watt resistors vs. 1/4 watt. This was a fun project to learn that lesson with.

I like the clean look, with the clear and the red.

Where's the gut shot G? It could be a little more black...the knobs and the footswitch are available in black. You could sharpie the led, but semantics. I do wanna be all up in those guts though, let's see those bits

How could I forget the gut shot? Have to share all these resistor teepees.

Great job.
For maximum teepeeage, use two 1/4W resistors in series next time.

I feel the title of the post is a reference to something and it's going over my head.

Thanks! There is one double teepee: above the IC in the bottom right. Can't remember the value of the top of my head.

And the title is a reference to This Is Spinal Tap. It's a quote about the album cover of "Smell the Glove"

ATTN @Bricksnbeatles — Make a pedal with BLK3.0 if you want to add Anish Kapoor to the list of celebrities that have fought with you.

Funny you mention that. I actually have a pedal planned that originally was going to use black 3.0 and will instead use Musou Black, but I’m still waiting on Tayda to offer the line cutting service on 1590DD and XX enclosures before I build it

The main concern I have with these paints is durability. I’m interested to see what you come up with!

I’ve acounted for that in how I plan things. That shouldn’t be an issue in this build at least.

I've always wanted that magic black paint, from the earliest announcement of it — sucks to piggy-Kapoor's asmar.

From one bucket to another...
I've got one project that requires Tiffany Blue. I've found a match online, but cannot source the paint locally.
