Another one; been busy this weekend!

Built this one up a while ago but have just boxed it up.

Really nice sounding delay. Haberdashers PCB was fab too; I highly recommend buying some of his wares!

The finish is an ancient can of hammerite that my Dad had knocking around in his garage called 'Sea Green', so it seemed appropriate to use on the pedal.

I was impatient to box this up so the clear lacquer warped a bit around the footswitch   ::)

The label is something I am experimenting with at the moment. I used some clear adhesive label material.

Hope you like the pics!

Nice tidy build.  I think there is an ancient can of hammerite in every shed !

I have one of Haberdasher's Sea urchin boards ready to box up as well and they are indeed excellent quality

I love the colour of that hammertone! Turned out awesome and super clean.

Very nice! Mind if I ask where you got those knobs?

Cheers Guys,

Yep I love these knobs too, they are from BanzaiMusic.de (a German parts store).

Only problem is that they are trez expensive; over 3 euros a pop  :-X

They look nice though, I think they are the same ones that Skreddy uses (they look identical to the ones on my Skreddy Pig Mine).

I drill the Fresnel lense holes at 6.4mm, which is 1/4 inch I think. I buy the lenses from CPC (UK equivalent to Mouser) and they are dirt cheap (around £0.20 a pop).

Yep those look like the ones.

If you are in the UK/EU I just found these:

Use a marker pen to add the black indicator line and you save yourself a couple of quid from buying them from Banzai!

Yep, I just bought the larger version of the black anodized ones and those have a silver indicator where the metal was machined.  No marking necessary (if you like black knobs, that is).

Thanks pickdropper; I'll add some black ones to the shopping basket.

Aluminium knobs are kinda worth the extra cost I guess.

It looks like you can get them from newark, which  is the USA sister co of farnell.

Almost $5 a knob

Yeah, the Newark pricing is on the higher side.  I'd go Mouser if at all possible.  The smaller ones are less than $3 USD each.

That spray finish color is such a perfect fit! Never seen that color before.
Looks really top notch inside, the 3pdt board seem to really help with tidiness!
