I think we're all running out of words to describe your work. So classy.

Really love this artwork. Where did you find it?

It's just a vector Koi fish that I found on google images.  I traced it in Illustrator, then copied it and rotated it for the second fish.  I played around with the location of the two fish a bit on where they went together. 

The knob labels are is just standard text in the Epistolar font.

The text next to the stomp switch says "pretentious" in Japanese.  :-)   I got that from Google Translate.  Hopefully it's accurate, but if it isn't, at least it's not a tattoo.

:D  That is definitely my favorite part of this build. 

But it looks amazing.  My zen drive is in a 125B.   ::)

Shortest time until a repair was required.

3PDT switch was intermittent in bypass mode.  It fooled me initially because it works sometimes, but I quickly realized it when playing through it yesterday.  I traced it out with a DMM and the switch is indeed the culprit.

Nothing as fun as taking apart a 1590A build.  Luckily, the replacement went it quickly.  All is good and peaceful (almost zen like) now.

Beautiful etch and overall just, well, amazing.
