Populated the board this past week. I wants to drill the enclosure a few days ago, but my printer ran out of ink and needed to wait until the weekend. Turns out I had a spare cartridge when I looked this morning.

Army green Tayda enclosure. Stock circuit. I decided to be confident in my build, so no sockets on this bad boy. I built this specifically for my bass and to inspire me to play it more often. Still not 100% certain what I want to do on the enclosure or if I should keep these spare knobs on there. Should I make the enclosure an homage to the “Russian” part? Time will tell.

I use sockets in case I’m working on another build and I’m short a part.

You should try the lower-gain humble-but-lovely 2N3904 ... oh, but wait, you didn't socket...


Great looking build.
Play yer bass, lots!

I always love to see a big muff build! This color just makes me think of green Russians when I see it. Small bear has the green Russian knobs if you’re after that look, not sure how big they are, so might need to check the spacing.

I’m also a 2n3904 enthusiast. No sockets means it must be time to build another one to try the 2n3904s!
