Looks pimp! Especially love how you tied in the green highlights on the knobs too

Good job!
And once that board is squished down in there and the bottom screwed on, you'll never see it.

Well, until someone opens it up again...

Thanks. I prefer larger knobs, but on this one I really wanted to use the ones with the green indicator. Plus larger diameter would obscure the text. They are a very tight fit though, so I hope they don't have to come off any time soon! Now that I have discovered how good Tayda prices on pots and knobs are, I will mostly use round pot shafts and knobs with set screws. Much easier to work with.

There is that. I do find that the tension of the wires helps keep the board in place. But on the next build I am going to try using short runs of tinned solid core wire where I can (maybe with heatshrink tubing) to see if I can get things tidier.

Also, I am definitely going to explore screen printing. I am growing frustrated with acrylic lacquer. Even though I am using etch primer which should give good adhesion, I still find the finish annoyingly fragile. On this one my pliers slipped while tightening the lock nut on the jack, and chipped the paint. I put some green sharpie on to make it less obvious, but very annoying. I think that screen printing over powdercoated enclosures should be more resilient (and more professional looking).

I know, I should be using a socket wrench.

Meh - shoulda, coulda, woulda pliers are always available and handy haha I don't blame ya

Damn, That looks rad Juggers. I know how frustrating that small chip is. I don't really know how to get a cost effective powder coating thingy going. I really can't paint any more pedals, it never seems to work out for me.

Igor would of used pliers. All the stuff inside goes over my head but a great looking pedal. I imagine FW would be pretty happy.

Yes, has Frank posted a review that I missed? A sound clip would be even better

I have a review in a PM. It's up to Igor and FW if they want to post anything here. All I will repeat are the words "telecaster, blues, monster". And something about growling, but I think that was Igor's stomach.
