Y'all know the story. You get that last coat of clear looking nice and then boom.... dropped on the garage floor. Is this a cop out? Yes. Am I going to survive it? Also yes. The damage was contained to the corners above the sticker so I improvised with a lil tape and questionable spray paint choices/ technique. I figured I was likely going to sand it all off anyway. It's probably only my 3rd ugliest enclosure so I'm keeping it like this for now. Really, I just liked the robocrucifiction the AI gave me. I did not enter any words related to execution or religion but this robot chose violence. I'm taking it as a warning from the skynet art department to stop giving it idiotic prompts.

On to the circuit. I read somewhere that ctg stands for Cisneros Tone Generator. Much like every other Dunwich effect, it takes a circuit I don't like and miraculously makes it useful for bass only it does it twice! Evidently it's a DS1 and a 250 with a boost in parallel. All three have tone and volume controls but the boost has no gain control. This lends to many many toans. I can't say it's going to see any gigs but it is really pleasing to set the ds1 at a medium gain, 250 high gain, and the boost bass heavy. It is massive through my rig. If you play bass through a ds1 and or 250 at all, you should definitely build this up yourself. I bet this one would be great with drum machines and synths too. My only criticism is that I think the provided drill template should scoot the pots/board down further away from the top. There was not much room for top jacking so everything had to go pretty close to the lid.

Ya I agree. Nicely done with the fix. What is the grayish speckled paint? Also the AI art is killer. For some reason it reminds me of the book Hyperion by Dan Simmons. There’s a scene in that book where a priest impales himself on an electric tree so he can kill a parasite that infected him. Great book, great pedal!
 
The fix is great. I probably like it better than if you hadn’t dropped it.
Thanks!

It's a coat of "textured concrete" with a light coat of translucent turquoise (I'll have to look up what this one is actually called) and a little glitter blast at the end. All krylon products.
