I'm switching jobs, and to celebrate leaving my old job I had grown very tired with, I bought a non-DIY pedal for one!

Well it's a tiny bit DIY in that you switch the liquid in the cup to change the tone. But mostly I just felt like having it for the gimmick. So far coffee (and lemon juice, which sounded very similar) were both quite nice, but just sort of a dark low gain tone. Whiskey however gave me a pretty nice distortion sound, which I've been enjoying for a bit.

Saw the interview with that guy on JHS. Pretty wild. Definitely not a yet-another anything at least.

I love the color combo on these. I sometimes feel bad for beautiful PCBs get boxed up and other people never get to see them. These fit in that catagory. Worthy of a clear enclosure hahaha!Nicely done sir.

It’s really cool, and I wonder how many people open up pedals anyway. Probably not too many.

Just about to test it out after a meeting.

I forget if your Rat Salad (love saying that) has copper on both sides.

It does. I believe its the grounds panes!

Right on- I’ve just been creating one ground plane. It would definitely be cool to be creative with it- maybe put the ground plane in the back and use the component side to create some sort of graphic or design.

I love seeing unique circuit shapes and designs on circuits. Maybe put "KR" as the ground plane....

Then finally, these showed up.....

Yes they are empty..... . I decided to get some hardshell cases for my Tokai's, since they will all be keepers.
My buddy that bought the two Tokai Les Pauls recently also got these "Crossrock" cases and recommended them.
They weren't "inexpensive" but they also weren't super pricey branded cases either.

Still, they LOOK better than they really are. They're a bit lightweight even though they claim to be 7 ply wood cases.
The fit isn't great and there's some slop if you shake the case with the guitar in it, even with the extra plush pads they supply.
If I had to gig these, I would have returned them. But as it is, these are just to protect my guitars as they go in and out of rotation of the "guitar closet".

The SG case was the best fit. But it needed the extra pads at the bottom.

The Les Paul cases were less of a good fit, even with the pads.

This is a faux tweed vinyl covering.

Oh and Bonnie the Wonder Dog was very excited about the cases when I was fitting the guitars. And at one point I guess she couldn't control herself and took a nibble......another reason I couldn't return them.......heh....little stinker......

They're certainly not G&G cases, but they'll do the job intended.

Next thing I'm looking for is some cases for my growing collection of "M-Line Guitars" so I can rotate my Strats and Tele's in and out of rotation.

What a day!!

Very cool! Teles fit nicely in SG cases, too.

Ahhh so that’s what that is. I didn’t know that was exposed copper! Or clear solder mask I should say!

 

[jimilee]

Yep, ordered some for my teles a while back. I like them because they take up less space.

Well f**k me......I had NO idea......it's a damn good fit too! Not using any of the pads....
