Tone Bender MkII: A bit of a spotty build.....

[DutchMF]

When Stomptown put up his boards for the TB MkII, I jumped on the chance to get one, as I had a nice set of transistors for a MkII, kindly donated by JakeFuzz, and hadn't gotten around to build one on vero......
Guts:

And now for the 'spotty' bit:








I know the board is meant for a 1590A build, but I can't get to grips with using those little f*ckers with my size 12's (plus, I've built one, and that's enough masochism for me in the 'boxing up' department.....).

Transistors are a GET113, a GT108V and an AC125, handpicked by the man himself. Sounds pretty cool with these. Thanks Paul!!

As for the art: I wanted to do something I hadn't seen before, both in layout and finish. So I went with a non-standard component placement, mounted everything and started putting on the dots, loads and loads of dots........ I'm quite scared to put a clear coat on it, so we'll see how it holds up with use.

Probably the last one before going on holiday, hope you like it!!

Oh, my. I can't even imagine the time and patience that took. It looks blemish free, so congrats on how well you did on setting those spots up.

Ha! Spotty.  I get it.   That's a nice, different look.  What is that, paint pen?

[culturejam]

Great looking build, Dutch!

[wolfingsworth]

That looks freaking awesome! I can't imagine how long it took to make those dots. I also appreciate the asymmetrical layout. A+

This is awesome.

Holy crap!  That could induce seizures!  How did you do it?

[spaceboss]

Great job, on a badass fuzz! 

A coat of Modge Podge before the clear coat might protect the dots from any adverse clear coat effects if you eventually decide to go that route.

That is incredible... puts a big smile on my face!

One of a kind for sure. When I saw the inside first, I thought wtf is that all about? The outside makes it make sense. Nicely executed.

That must've taken forever! What a fantastic result.
