Sunking aka: Master Luke

[masterlk]

Hey folks - This is my second Madbean build and I like it a lot. I went for the basic clean K_on copy look. It's tough to take pics of the polished enclosure. Anyway, I used the 1n270's, everything else is per the build doc. I really have to thank a forum memeber, mjcyates, who helped with ordering the parts for this and my first build and giving a newbie some good pointers early on, thanks Marvin! Even though I'm a total newb the build docs and this forum made this build fire up the first time, I rocked it before I boxed it!

This was also my first etch. It's not perfect but I like the way it turned out. I think I have been bitten by the etching bug, I'll be doing more of these.

That is a great looking pedal! Glad I was able to help!

Wow nice finish... did you buff the enclosure to get it looking that smooth?

[masterlk]

I did buff it, by hand. After all the sanding I used some stuff my dad gave me while I was back home on vacation. It was some kind of automotive polish. Worked good, there's no "finish" on the pedal so I am expecting it to get beat up pretty quick. Oh well, that's why I built it, to use it, right?

Thanks Marvin!

Dude.  Fantastic build, killer job.  Very impressed!  Love the etch job on the enclosure, and I'm also mega impressed with your wiring job!!  Clean, clean, clean!

Sweet! I'm sure there's tutorials on etching hiding in other forums, but I'd read it if ya wrote one!

[masterlk]

I'll tell you that I have read all the tutorials available and I still had a heck of a time. I will be trying a new paper that I think Brian and some others are using for their boards. It's a digital paper(not sure what that means). I hope it works better on enclosures because I love the polished look of the pedals I've seen but this was a bear to get right.
