@vigilante398 — what PSU do you typically use? All of my PSU taps and wall-wart adapters max out at 500mA.

I’m going to try this one. True Tone 1 SPOT

That's what I use. (Haven't built this one yet though)

I use it for tube pedals. Works fine. 1,700mA.

Everyone else beat me to it, I also use a OneSpot. I have a Cioks DC-7 on my board that can do up to 660mA per tap, but it's more convenient to run single pedals off the board with a OneSpot.

Amazon says my 1Spot will be here Sunday but I have my doubts lol.
I think I’m going to get a powder coating gun and go to town on all of my pedals.

I support this. I'm on my third powdercoating gun, I've been progressively upgrading

The lovely DHL people just brought my new PCB order, so I have 20 more Black Eye boards. I have a bunch of stuff to do but I'll try to get onto the website tonight and get them posted.
I also got the revised boards for my Space Heater preamp, I hope to find time to verify that tonight so I can get those on the website as well.

What gun are you using now? I have a 2001 Yamaha Raptor 660R that I’m fixing up and being able to coat all of the small parts would make life mucho easier.I support this. I'm on my third powdercoating gun, I've been progressively upgrading

Right now I'm using a Redline EZ50. It's not cheap, but it's by far the best gun I've used. I started with the Harbor Freight gun and that was okay to learn with, but it seemed like some powders didn't like it very much. Then I upgraded to the Eastwood PCS-250 which was a lot better, but the construction wasn't super solid and I'm super clumsy, so I broke it after a few months. I had been eying the Redline and it seemed like a lot of money, but I said screw it, it's a tax deduction anyway. And I love it, I've had zero problems with it.
I obviously mostly coat pedal enclosures, but I also do the occasional guitar/amp hardware and household stuff (recently did door hinges, stair railing mounts, and an outdoor light fixture for the house).

I just updated the website, it should say 20 in stock now. So @giovanni @Fingolfen @cwsquared @Feral Feline and @szukalski, have at it my dudes.
Unfortunately there still seems to be something wrong with the Space Heater board design. It's weird, it's hands-down the simplest preamp I make, and I can't seem to get a DIY version of it working
back to the drawing board, I guess.

Thanks a bunch! I've got two Black Eyes...
... and a High Voltage, too.
Pity 'bout the Space Heater — Looking forward to ordering that one when it gets sorted out.

Good to know. Right now I'm playing with a Harbor Freight gun while I get my booth and oven set up and have been eyeballing the Redline. I've been hammering on a ground rod for weeks now, it's just been too damned hot to stay out there very long!
It rained last night so today will probably be a good day to finish that up.
Are powder changes fairly easy with that one?

I’ve also thought about using Cerakote but I don’t think the waterslide would adhere correctly.

Easy-ish. You still have to clean out the gun during the swap, but I think it's the easiest of the ones I've used to clean.Good to know.
