Box 66

[jhaneyzz]

Just finished this Box 66 last night.

I don't have a super wide selection of PNPs but this 2N309 + 2N508 combo sounds pretty sweet with the bias set just on the crunchy side.

I must say I do enjoy your etchings. One of these days I will follow your instructions on the process.

I have to agree. The etching is always incredible. It’s crazy how you have the right amount of etching around the details. It’s honestly a joy to look at every time. Great build dude!

I don't know what I like more, the etching or the wiring

Thanks. I must admit that the lighting and tweaking I do in Lightroom makes the contrast and detail jump out and they look sexier in photos than in real life.

I, of course still feel like there is a lot of room for improvement.

Love your honesty but I think your work is still top notch! We need more!

How do you make your washers look so cool. Dremel tool?

I've got about 10 more all etched, boards complete, pots in stock, that will be rolling out over the next couple of weeks.

The Greater Barrington Pedal Society is meeting tomorrow night however at the pub down the street tomorrow night though so won't get much done tomorrow.

 

[steviejr92]

Looking forward to them!

Good luck with trying that...

Looks amazing as always! And that feeling of "there's a lot of room for improvement" is what keep us going and enjoying the process mate!

Looks great, especially the wiring! And not a stray CLR in sight

I think the word you're looking for was "redundant" rather than "stray"

Good guess, but that stuff was crap... way too malleable for spider wiring.

I just just good old 22 GA Remington.

Maybe dumb Q, but you take the insulation off? Or does it come that way?

I take it off...

It probably comes that way too, but I'm just using up old spools of 24 gauge solid that I have around.

I tried a few others but this has just the right amount of malleability, stiffness, "memory" or whatever you want to call it to be good for sculpting and getting to have a nice elegant arc.

I am much more of a artist than musician and know basically zero about electronics outside of the context of pedals or (bizarrely) flyback transformers...

Well, it looks beautiful. Very aesthetically pleasing.

You collect arcade cabinets by any chance?

I'm not familiar with that hobby.
