That looks great as always. I like the street fighter theme :D

So what's the tale of woe part then? It sounds like a normal build to me. Well, apart from the Merc rubber, obviously. This could start a new fad for rubber clad pedals, you trendsetter!  ;D

Turned out nice in the end (did that sound like George Formby?) Good to know that even Cleggy can have a bad Envirotex day.

...and then of course I've got this terrible pain in all the diodes down my left hand side...

I think rubber plugs should be used for all top mounted pedals so they enclosures will not rub against each other on a board... yeah thats it..

Great job.

I remember playing that back in the day!  Good times!

Looks great!

Sweet!  That's a lot of metal there.  Hopefully that's not a Porsche part in there.

Haven't had to start plugging holes in the Porsche just yet ;)

So you were intending to make the In/Out jacks as side mount but had to relocate to top mount? And this was after the decal work?

Either way... I like the after use of the grommets to hold the PCB! Also, recycling parts from the vehicle is true dedication to your trade.  ;)

Awesome, when the plugs pop out, you know you have too much gain.   :)

Love it!

And I love your tenacity. I probably would have shelved it for a few years, at least. :)

Love it!  Double dragon was a lot of fun back in the day.  This looks like it was a PITA to get together, but you made it happen.  You really know how to make those knobs look so great on your builds!

Holy crap that's tight!  Sweet build and glad it all came together.  Gotta love some old school arcade themes.

Yep, exactly that. If I'd mounted them under the board and used enclosed Neutrik jacks I could have done it too. Mounting at the side in high gain is good as you're not running signal wires over the board... So I ended up putting them on the back and shielding them. As the decal had been on twice, I wasn't going to strip it a third time just for the in / out labelling! ;)

I'll get another grommet for the car at some point.
