Vintage Mania!!! (fuzz content)

Hi guys!
I bought some wedge-shaped enclosures from Mac Walker (here in the 'emporium'), and they are great  8)
I thought I'd use them for some 'vintage flavoured' circuit as well... so here they are:
a TB MKIII loaded with AC128s and a Retrograde.
I'm reasonably happy with the finish too: fisrt time I used Hammerite.
For the grey enclosure I used the hammerite rattle can. A couple of light passes seem to do the trick.
For the purple one instead I first applied a coat of primer (with a brush - you can see the red blobs in the guts pic...), then mixed blue and red paint and applied with a sponge.
Sound wise the TB is an absolute beast, thick and rough around the edges... I love it!!!
The Retrograde circuit is a quirky one: the controls seem to have little effect on the sound, specially the fuzz pot....
The octave is all there though and the fuzz tone is nice and huge - think led zep with the octave disengaged and Hendrix with with the octave on!
Well, enough talk... here's the pics
