Some of you may recognize this as it uses the same graphics I did on my old Dr. Boogie build.
This is a gift for my buddy at the local guitar shop who has been very good to me over the last 15+ years.
Still deciding on the knobs, but very pleased with the black plate and the polished box.

Aha, so it is! ;)
Flawless victory as usual 8)
Great build Dave. Always look forward to seeing your work.
That dude is lucky! What beautiful artwork!

Wow, great job. Wish I could make something like that one day
Great build all around. Have you tried it with black Davies 1510 knobs? They might look bland, but I have really come to appreciate them.
sweet!
Whoo!
Wow Dave! Outstanding all around! Where do you get those knobs anyway?
I like the faceplate look, maybe even a little better than the etched enclosure.

I wouldn't change a thing - that is perfect!

Those are smaller (13 mm diameter), I think those used by Pickdropper are 15 mm. They might be 45KN031 Eagle knobs, available from mouser.
I think those graphics are some of my favourite, which is why I got the box from you like that one! Good thing I did, because I love that pedal!
Great build Dave, I really like it.

They are definitely different than the ones from small bear, which I'm not really a fan of. Too tall/thin and a lot of the ones I've revieved are slightly scuffed/aged in spots. These ones look great! I'll look into the ones at mouser...
aesthetically perfect. You take the face plates to a new level.
Thanks guys.
The knobs are Eagle and most definitely were sourced from Mouser. If anybody wants, I can look up the part number when I get home.

Thanks Dave! I think croquet hoop was right but a confirmation would be cool!
Here is the data sheet from mouser:

Lots of cool stuff on there!
Croquet Hoop nailed it. They are 45KN031.
I have some black ones as well. Mouser PN: 450-7031.
Damn that is a beauty
Hats off, sir. You are an artist.
How did you make the faceplate? It's such a beauty, I'd like to try something like that one day

It is a reverse laser-etched acrylic plate. Painted from the backside, etched backwards, then flipped and installed.
Does the laser do the outside cutting? If not, how do you get those perfectly rounded corners?

Yep, the laser cut the outside as well as all of the holes for the pots, switch and LED.
I've found I have to run the etch (raster) and cut (vector) operations in the same job or things get out of alignment. That shouldn't happen, but for some reason it does. I haven't figured that out yet.
