Title: PedalPCB Tweed Man and Covert
Post by: harryklippton on March 27, 2021, 07:23:21 PM
Here's a two for one- pedalpcb tweed man and covert builds. I finished these about 2 weeks ago and was waiting on knobs. I did the tweaks to the covert that Dan mentioned over on the pedalpcb forum and it made the pedal way more usable. There was a time where it seemed like I wanted every pedal catalinbread made, and it's been fun building some of their circuits. That tweed man/formula 5f6 circuit makes cleans really sparkle.

These turned out great, the 5f6 pedal sounds awesome going into a tweed amp. Graphics look good, real professional looking. Is that the no film decal?

Doesn't get any cleaner than that.  Very nicely done inside and out.

Those look fantastic. I love me some fender tweed.

Thanks everybody. Yup, no film on tayda boxes. The bare enclosure turned out to be more work than I expected getting it cleaned up and then I'd leave black fingerprints all over the cream box too

Super clean and look great, the tweed man is a fun overdrive. The covert is such a cool amp in a box pedal and it is weird to compare the mkI to the mkIII, completely different animals.If you get a chance I highly recommend giving the MKI a shot.

I have some unpainted enclosures left over or once in a while powder coating is brittle and chips when drilling and i have to sand the enclosure. I much prefer a powder coated box because sanding is a pain. I get it all the big stuff out with an orbital sander then hand sand thru 2000 grit. But the results are worth it.

Those look sharp!   Is that no-film on the enclosures?

Yup I'm sold on the no film!
