Finished these up. Pre-drilled enclosures from Tayda, then waterslide decals and clear coat

Had a bit of trouble with the Swarm - ordered a CD40174BE instead of a CD4017BE. Don't do that lol. Assembly was very easy with header pins

The name is a play on circle of fifths. The sounds this thing produces makes a mockery of the word 'harmonising' lol. Pure filth



Used the Equilux Mini at a rehearsal last night, it works really well on guitar to bring out the upper mids and cut the flub. Will likely replace my parametric with this cos it's easier to use. I plan to make a couple more of these with low tolerance WIMA caps in the filter sections:

CD40174BE instead of a CD4017BE

It took me a long time staring at this to see the difference.

The water slide decals look good! Did you clear coat the enclosures before applying the decals, or did you apply them directly to the bare enclosure?

Thanks, I wet sand with 800 grit then sometimes dry sand then apply the decal bare

Here's a Granger that I dry sanded, I think it makes it shinier
