So here's ANOTHER Low-Tide build. It must be the season!


Overall, the build went relatively smoothly, although troubleshooting was a bit of a challenge. Luckily, there were those who went before me:

Low Tide LPG and BBD not working
My first build. Low tide. Made a mistake. Is this redeemable?

I seemed to have most of the issues described in those threads, and managed to use quite a bit of the advice given to solve my troubles. Now it's working nicely, making all kinds of things sound convicingly like they were recorded onto a tape that got left in the sun.

I also put an awful lot of work into making the enclosure look like I didn't put any work into it. The labels are waterslide under about 8 coats of 2x.

In the end, this one was really satisfying, and I'm quite proud of it.

Low tides are amazing. The more the merrier.

Indeed, they're awesome. Such a strange idea to think about, but such a great sound!

Don't worry, it happens to most guys at one time or another.
(Sorry, I couldn't resist. Also, I am in fact a child)

Seriously, though. Yeah, it's a real blast to mess with.
