Here is my nautical themed  modded Bluesbreaker. I have had the PCB for awhile and was between builds and decided to try it out. I ended up really liking it.

I am trying to pick some knobs for it and maybe you peeps have some suggestions?

Just after an etch bath and a good scrub later.


First coat of paint and a light wet sand to reveal the reversed etch. I tend to do 3 layers of paint and I do a light wet sand between coats.


Drilled and did 1 more coat of paint. Wet sanded and added 3 layers of matted clear coat to it.


For the guts: I am trying a few things on my 3PDT board to get the soldier on the switch pins to take the solider better with out burning out the switch. I like how this one came out compared to my last build. I made the pads a bit bigger for the switch so there was more surface for the solder to flow on.

Wow, that's nice!

The BB Pre is one of my fav overdrives.  I have one I built and I bought one used a while back.

Wow that's a beaut! Be a shame to put velcro on the bottom and step on it. Belongs on a shelf!
Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

This looks awesome. Davies 1400-style for the knobs, perhaps?
