I've had the enclosure ready for *ages*, just need to get that bloody rotary...

It looks like the sets/locations are taken from the games verbatim.  Looks to be closer to the source material than that horrible Discworld thing that came out a couple of years ago.

I still have to box this up.  I have the enclosure ready (Tayda UV print) but need the get the rotary.

That was the first mod I ever did.

Was it Midwayfair who did a subjective diode listening test with various diodes in the Klon.  I can't find the page unfortunately.

I've done a few of these now, and I would start by downloading their BB template.

I use the .AI as I use illustrator for these, and then save the final as a PDF as they specify.  TBH, your PDF looks way too big for a BB.

Here's one of mine (search the build reports for "Willybomb" if you want to see more):

And I'll attach the file for it so you can see what it should look like:

Gudday all.  Here's Sweet Revenge.  It was supposed to be a jfet Soldano Avenger on vero, but after boxing it was REALLY noisy and I couldn't work out why - which was a shame because it did sound great under all that.  Anyway, I decided I'd recycle the box with something else while not stripping it, meaning I needed something with a BMT tonestack.  Turned out I had one of Jimilee's Angry Charlies around, so in it went.  I had to float the pots and the guts are a bit of a mess, but it's dead quiet and sounds great.  Tayda UV printed enclosure.

Personally, I don't see the attraction or the value at ~AUD$300...

I've built a couple of TDA based amps.  These will push a 4x12 without issue over an acoustic drumkit and are dead cheap, powered from a 19v laptop power supply.

If you search for my username you'll see a few in the build reports, but in a nutshell:

Compressor -> Klon
LPB1 -> Superjudge
Sea Urchin -> Deep Blue Delay
Crunchbox -> DBD (I think)
CE-2 -> DBD -> Rubadub

There's more, but I can't recall off the top of my head.

If it's not "Buy it now" at a reasonable price, I'll stick the maximum in that I'm happy to pay as my bid in and forget about it.  Sometimes it works (really well, under my max), sometimes it doesn't.  90% of my ebay purchases aren't essential for anything so I'm not super fussed.

I'm around 100 completed and happy to do custom builds, but I'm in Australia.

How are you getting such vibrant yellows on the blue powdercoat? 

I usually do a white silhouette of my artwork to go underneath in the white layer, but I haven't found Tayda's registration to be that sharp for the next layer on top - there's usually smidges of the white layer showing at the edges.

I dunno.  No Man's Sky.... Battlecruiser 3k....  Spore... Daikatana....

That is a beauty! How is the floyd rose restringing? I have always heard horror stories and stayed away from them..

It's funny, I've been playing strat style bridges for the last 2 years and I found myself bumping up against the fine tuners on occasion.

The actual restringing isn't that bad, but I'd forgotten how finicky they can be when the strings are new.  I asked for 9-46 to be put on and the action done as low as possible before they sent it out but I think I can get more out of it.

As long as you put on the same gauge of strings each time, once a floyd is balanced you're golden.
