Squidward pedal - my second build

Hello everyone,

so here is my second build ever, a squidward. I finished it this weekend and (surprise), it works !

here is a photo of the final product (with a gutshot) :


and a bit of sound (sorry, those are really crappy takes, I have to work on that) :


It went very well. For the enclosure I tried caustic soda etching for the first time, and it was really fun to do. I used some toilet cleaner for that (with 30% soda), but it was a gel, so it was rather hard to see anything. I'll try something else next time, maybe with a less strong concentration.

no issue at all while soldering the components, but the wiring is definitely my nemesis.

Another point I didn't expect : there is no potentiometer, so I didn't know how to fix the pcb to the enclosure. Luckily, many people helped me here, so I ended up using electrical tape on the back side, and then double sided foam tape.

It works like a charm, I'm really happy with how it ended up.

Can't wait to start my next project !
 
Hey did you use a 125b enclosure or just a normal 1590b. I noticed a lot of eqd pedals take the 125b. But it looks like some don't need it. Thanks.
