Really happy with the sound of this pedal, great PCB from Chi_Boy!

Enclosure etched using Sodium Hydroxide and laser toner mask.

Sorry no gut shot as it's already screwed down to my board!

Beautiful etch, but I'm really in love with your multiplex build.... man, that one is hard to match!

Thanks man, I have to admit the Multiplex is one of my favourites, great pedal as well!

Oh my. I wish I had the time/energy/ability to use some kind of illustrator program to do this stuff.

Is that a Gorm Shelf pedal board and "the bicycle chain" mounting?
Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

Working on one of those myself. Very cool.

It's very satisfying to do, mine has proved invaluable for gigging and for a fraction of the cost of a Pedaltrain etc

This is a shot of it from a while ago, built and swapped around some pedals since then! ;)

Nice, got any build pictures? I found a few blogs where these were built, and I have an idea of why I want to do. Just need one more piece

That is a fantastic looking board.  All of your pedals on there look great.

I think you also have the honor of being the only person I have seen use a Big Black cover on your Harmonic Percolator.

Unfortunately I don't, sorry, I didn't really document it as I was building it. One cool thing I found and used were these Ikea shelf brackets to prop it up with, got the idea from this pic



These are the brackets, you just saw them off to the angle and height you want, very simple but effective! :)

Other than that was just some aluminium edging around it and some handles, only took an afternoon!

Thanks man, appreciate the compliment! Yes, had to be done regarding the Big Black Percolator! :D
