Haven't uploaded anything in a while. This is my 1st attempt at Envirotex. Got it a little thick. Excellent circuit. It is entirely stock using 1n914 diodes.

What is that, a behringer overdrive? Looks great!
Thanks!
It looks really great, and the insides are super clean. Is that PPP's granny smith green, or something else?
Super great job! Did you use envirotex over powdercoat?
Why do you double up on the leads to the spdt switches?
The enclosure color is Granny Smith sparkle from Mammoth electronics. I did use Envirotex over a powder coated enclosure. the reason I doubled up on the leads to the spdt switches was an over sight on my part. I ran out of wire. All I had left was some 32 gauge wire which has like 4 strands to it, so I doubled it.

Thanks!
Sorry are there gut shots, they weren't showing up on my phone, in that case I recant my rehouse wise crack. My apologies.
This is a great 1st time with Envirotex. Gives me hope that I might be able to pull this off one day. I am so scared to messing it up and having to sand it off or throw away a enclosure. The color you have there is just amazing looking and the Envirotex gives it so much depth. Great job.

No problem! I was having trouble uploading pics when you posted. Not easily offended. Even though I don't post very often I lurk enough that I am used to everyone's personalities and appreciate all the information everyone so willingly shares and the good nature of the people. Most forums are very snobbish. Great group of people here!

Thanks! Juan and Cleggy's tutorial is what I followed I waited and watched for a while as people worked out the best way to approach this method. They deserve all the credit for their hard work, dedication, and willingness to share with us what they have learned. The hardest part is actually letting it cure because you want to fiddle with it.

This build works for me on many levels. I really like the color of the enclosure mated with the graphics and those knobs. The envirotex is just the Bisphenol-A icing on the cake.
But the guts are fantastic. Very neatly wired. Great job.
Thanks! I appreciate the kind words.
The neatness of the wiring (I am still improving), the credit goes to Josh for the 3pdt boards, and Brian for all these great layouts on these circuits. I also really love building in these 125b enclosures. They are the perfect size to me. I am scared to try the 1590a's. I guess I know my limitations and work within them.

Love those stomp boards also. The newer ones I dig even more, they have +9 and ground on both sides,which is great for wiring up multi pedals.
Great looking build mate, love the colour, knobs suit it perfectly and using that font with the envirotex gives it depth, beautiful all round.
Beautiful build. Did you just Enviro the top like Juan and Cleggy do?
Yeah, I agree - that looks great!
Jacob
This looks so green! Fantastic color. And the inside is really clean!
That's a great look. The font really looks 3D.
Everyone needs a good tubescreamer.
Super clean and tidy job. Nice work. 8)
Thanks guys!

If you just do the top it comes off really easily. I've done quite a few re-finishes now and the way to start it is lift it up around the stomp hole, then get a thin screwdriver in to the corner. Once that's lifted it's just a case of pitting the driver in sideways and pulling it along the length of the top. Dead easy. A bit of clean up around the edges and off you go. If you use the same sort of decals we do they come off easy too and just need a wipe down with spirit afterwards to remove the adhesive residue.
I've recently removed it from an early full pour... That wasn't fun however, but it's possibly with a bit of perseverance.
Good job with the finish dude! Looks spot on.
Looks fantastic!
