another epoxy finish. This time I tried embedding holographic glitter and glow-in-the-dark powder into the resin and let the LED charge it. Looks pretty cool but the resin didn’t seem to really harden and it’s been about 5 days.
I should have used the UV LED but I had already installed the blue prior to doing the enclosure.
Got a build after this that takes this idea in a different direction...still experimenting but getting closer to some of my build goals.
 
Nice work! Super clean builds -- love the theme. You're definitely building a recognizable vibe and identity with your designs.

I just finished a Blue Breaker build. I've built 4 or 5 of them and this is easily the best sounding.
 
What made this one sound better?
Not sure why, but this one is more "hi-fi" - richer, fuller. I play Pedal Steel, and Steel is really finicky with pedals due to the higher output pickups -- my front neck is 18ohms and the back neck is 21. So far, this is one of the best builds for Steel I've done.

I've built Blues Breakers with different ICs - one with a 4558 if I recall correctly, and that wasn't so great. I've built on vero, my own etched board, and my own design via OSH park, and the one I just finished still stands out as the best of the lot. I suspect the guy who runs this PedalPCB operation knows a thing or two about pedals. ;)

Gotta say, I've finished 5 builds since I recently discovered PedalPCB boards and this forum, and while some may not be my cup of tea, all the builds have sounded really great right out of the gate. (y)
