Never lost with a big knob

OK, cheesy subject line but I got these knobs from BLMS and was going to use them as the two outside freq pots so I could tune them with my foot.  Looked pretty stupid with normal Davies in all other positions so I swapped them all out and voila.  Still not convinced it's worth the extra 10 lbs of knobs but it's an interesting look.  The decal is dead stock Juansolo 1590BB portrait with added boxes (thanks Juan), and the board is GPCB Dual Voice Filter.  Crafty (if heavy handed - no complaints) cocked wah circuit that's capable of a ton of whacko or not-so-whacko sounds.  Sort of a ChopShop/Harmonic Energizer on steroids. Note all the fried pads as I replaced wires to the offboard stuff.  This was one of those projects that everything went wrong.  Real happy with results though, and the jury is still out on the knobs...



Oh, did I mention that I mis-drilled a 125B enclosure?

How loud is too loud?  What?

Also note that I've officially run out of white powder coat.  I'm sufficiently confident with my powder coat abilities to branch out to other colors.  Sweet.  For any of you out there that are holding back...Harbor Freight gun and a cheapo toaster oven and you're off to the races.  And a compressor but very low pressure so cheapo across the board.

Screwing don't the knobs must have been a project in itself. I say leave it as it is man. Never open it again! Nicely done sir
