LG_SHO boooooster with optical bypass in 1590a

[rullywowr]

Based off the Landgraff Clean Boost.  Really great circuit, I love how it adds a bit of fatness/warmth to the drive.  It's circuit is similar to a SHO.  If you want to build your own, I created a project "LG_SHO" and tutorial (complete with build doc and single sided etching artwork) here in this thread (if you haven't seen it already):

Awesome looking build. I love that knob, I need to contact him and see if I can pick some up... He's been super busy it seems.

I also can't wait to gibe you Detour Optical Bypass a try since you hooked me up with one.

This is the latest and current version of the Detour (v1.3). I wanted to make it as small as possible while maintaining symmetry for LED mounting. I just nibbled the corners off with side cutters for this one. Send me a PM with your address Copachino and I'll be glad to send you some of this version  as a courtesy for free to replace your earlier ones. 

EDIT:  The Kobiconn jacks were purchased a few months back as a group buy.  Mouser has them, however you have to order a minimum of 1000 it seems.

Really nice ! How did you powdercoat it so nicely ?

[rullywowr]

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

Thanks man.  Just like paint, its all about basic prep.  Pre bake the enclosures at 375 for 20 min (this gets any internal gasses out and stuff).  Then cool and wipe the enclosure with Acetone and a rag until no more black stuff comes off.  Attach electrode and hit it with glossy white powder evenly.  Bake in my beat toaster oven for 10 minutes until flow out occurs.  Check to see if you missed any spots (if so, take it out and hit it quickly again) and continue baking for a total of 20 min.
