Last night I dug out a few old builds for some glamour shots, mostly to show off the really cool enclosures from a few great people: Monarch Enclosures (on Etsy) and Gear Ant (gearant.com). So without further ado and no more delay...


Informant
I've built a whole fleet of these since the project was released because friends keep bumming my builds and I have to go back and start over! 😆 Anyway, this one's mine and I'm not giving it up any time soon.

Mods/Features:
- soft touch switching (PPCB Intelligent Relay Bypass)
- Monarch enclosure

Pipe Stretcher
Curiosity got the better of me on this one. This was one of the best "risks" I've taken in terms of not knowing what I was getting myself into before building. I'm happy to say it paid off!

Mods/Features:
- Gear Ant enclosure

Timmy / 808 2-in-1
Although this one isn't a PedalPCB project (or even PCB), it's the ultimate gain stage for a Marshall-style amp! Two classics here, just a stock TS808 with a clipping toggle (red LEDs) and a stock Timmy. Enclosure by Monarch Enclosures.

Supro Amp Switch
Bonus! Still a pedal in the most literal sense of the word. I'm showing this one off, even though the guts are lackluster, because the enclosure is 100% awesome! Another Gear Ant masterpiece.

Thanks for the view! I'm not affiliated with Monarch or Gear Ant, but they do great work and they're great people. Viva small businesses!

Nice work, those are nice enclosure indeed.

What’s the gooped stuff in the pipe stretcher?
That's just black hot glue - my attempt to protect the series resistors from grounding to the enclosure lid. I was rather in a hurry to try this one out and couldn't wait for an order with the correct value to arrive (also notice the mismatched, non-WIMA cap..)!
 
Absolutely love the Timmy / 808, and the art is spectacular!

Thanks for the sources, and for sharing!
