Build Reports / Tenebrion reverb in a 1590a

Modified enclosure by drilling out one of the corner mounts. Lots of planning to get this in there and working. 1/8 watt resistors and low profile electros made it possible  https://imgur.com/gallery/oAAZn

Twin peaks harmonic tap tempo tremolo, rc booster, rotten komp compressor, pork rind octave up fuzz, echo base star wars themed tap tempo delay with mods.
and a Zen drive with wood veneer. The non-graphic pedals are getting various exotic wood veneers on top https://www.instagram.com/p/BZHoXwfBazh/

Build Reports / Zen drive with wood veneer finish

Board from GrindcustomsFX. I used a spray-able finish instead of epoxy. Epoxy, although it gives a nice thick smooth finish, is harder to work with and sometimes its too thick for the threads on certain pots or switches. So I went with Rust-Oleum Clear Triple Thick Spray and couldn't be happier; dry to the touch in 20 minutes and it goes on pretty thick where one or two coats is enough. Beats messy epoxy that takes days to dry.

The gain pot functionality is backwards, (counter clock-wise gives more gain) so I might still do something to change that by swapping lugs 1 and 3.

Build Reports / Peacekeeper with wood veneer finish

Wanted to share my enclosure finishing technique. I apply a wood veneer onto a painted box with spray adhesive. I then use a Dremel with sanding drum to sand the veneer flush to the box, also exposing a some of the metal creating a pin line. I stained the veneer black. Used 1/4 inch vinyl lettering and an enamel paint pen for the lettering. Final step is to apply a layer of epoxy to the top.
