RAH - The Cave

[CanadianDave]

Just finished up my Catalinbread RAH build.

For some reason, I landed on Plato's Allegory of the Cave as a theme.

I used sharpie on a white enclosure, then "melted" the ink with rubbing alcohol to create a watercolor/drip effect.
Then I overplayed it with some transparent decal of a piece of art I found online. It's supposed to be a modern interpretation of The Cave, but it looked cool.

Repositioned the LED and made a "lens" from building up layers of a glaze glue so it would look like the Sun shining through the cave entrance.

And yes, that is it sitting next to another pedal called "Big Doink," which is a Benson Preamp.

Great job, haven't built this one yet. How does it sound?

That sharpie trick is real nice.

Sounds as advertised. Led Zeppelin in a box.

I haven't had the chance yet to really dial it in, but it will definitely find its way on to my board as my go-to.

Nice! I’ve built this on vero but I found the eq wasn’t very effective

 

[Dan0h]

Very cool!

Love the Finishing

That looks great! I really love the initially underlayer. I hadn't thought of washing Sharpie like that.

I recall building one on vero for a friend and they loved it.

Which classical philosopher inspired "Big Doink"?
