Chameleon 125B powder-coat group buy ** feeler **

[ThePanda]

Anyone interested in a 125B Chameleon powder coat group buy?
(is General Questions the the proper place for this?)

I bought a Gorva C65 (125B) Chameleon enclosure and it does not fit the board it was intended to. (it will be repurposed for another pedal)

Just in the planning stages now. No ordering or promising, but I wanted to get a general feel for interest.

I'd be especially interested if we opted for a different color shifting coat than what Gorva uses, even though I really like that one. Plenty of other options here: https://www.prismaticpowders.com/shop/powder-coating-colors?finishes=pris_colorshifting

Which color tone you thinking?

Prismatic Powders is a little too sparkly for me I found some I liked powders at Columbia Coatings.

I am digging these below. Leaning towards supernova and space truckin. midnight rider is pretty cool too.

For myself: the more garish the better, I like the chartreuse holographic one at PP a lot. But any of the ones you posted would be cool by me, and really almost anything with a purple phase would probably make me happy. Not sure how many 125B builds I'm going to do though, most of my current stuff is perfect for the Gorva S90. OTOH, there's a new design fork someone else did for my OS preamp design that's formatted for 125B, so I'd likely buy in on at least a handful.

Aren't the Supernova and Midnight Rider basically the same thing?

I was trying to figure that out too.
I think one has more purple shift and another has more intense sparkles.
One seems to have more blue?
But I dunno lol

I'd be interested.

I’m down.

 

[Laundryroom David]

Me too

 

[Feral Feline]

Count me in!

From OP:
Super Nova
Midnight Rider
or
Other

Space Truckin' is too much like a Gorva, not interested in green/blue though I did like Prismatic's Gojira (mainly because I have a pedal-project similarly named).


Prismatic URL's Proton Sparkle or Rusty Rufis looked very good, albeit a little tame.
Agreed that the more garish the better:
How 'bout PURPLE/ORANGE !
Or
Grape / Black-Cherry / Qumquat or
Plum / Gold / Tangerine or
Amethyst / Fuchsia / Tangelo ...

Getting garish enough, Passinwind?

On the right track my friend. In what passes for my world this would be "tasteful":

Yup.

Still running some numbers but what 125B enclosure does everyone want to go with?

Here are the two I am looking at

Please react with a if you like it OR a if you do not like it (there will be a second post for a different 125B)

**1st** is a 125B "Pro". Is boxier than normal and has "sharper" not round edges. I bought a few powder coated ones (one for my delayed Skeptical Buffer)

If Cusack is doing the powdercoat, probably the one they say works best for that.
