Finally build up my Aristocrat board. It works, but I haven't had much chance to wind it up at higher levels yet. Hopefully, I can give it a good test drive over the weekend.

That is a beautiful finish! Can I ask what color that is/who has it available? It's a little lighter than the blue star sparkle on my Pork Barrel, and I'm hoping for something like that for a future build!
What did you use for diodes? They look like Schottkys of some kind. Bet is sounds awesome.

It is the blue sparkle finish from Mammoth. It is indeed lighter than the blue sparkle from PPP. I prefer the darker PPP finish, but this ended up looking OK.
I took a poll a week or two ago on diodes and most folks seemed to like the alternatives that Bean suggested, which were 1n914 and 1n4001, so I went with this. I wasn't terribly interested on hunting down the real unobtanium diodes for this build.
Wow. That is immaculate. Looks great!
Wow, that's a real beaut. The wiring is inspiring!
Awesome in so many ways.
Very cool! Looks great.
Super nice! I like it.
Add me to the list....It's awesome!
wow! :o that is all
Just catching this one - Stellar build! Very clean, and very pro looking.

That wiring is so clean, you've got room to pack a lunch in there. Or at least a Peep...
Nice Einstürzende Neubauten shout-out, too.
Thanks everybody.
Lincolnic, good catch. :-)
What's going on with the footswitch on he hint in he gutshot?
Specifically the bottom right corner?

I am not 100% sure what your question is. I think you are missing a few letters :-)
Here are the two possibilities that I think you might be asking:
1.) What is going on with the green output wire on the right footswitch? That is actually an untrimmed wire that since has been trimmed. It wasn't touching the input wire, but it did need to be trimmed. You've got keen eyes.
2.) What is going on with the massive amount of red epoxy on the footswitch? Not sure about this one. Maybe somebody at the footswitch factory had a bit too much to drink. It works OK, but does look odd.
Or was it a different question?
Yeah sorry iPad fail
I meant the untrimmed wire 8)
I've seen super goofed switches like the before they still work good
Sooo clean!! Great job!
