VIPFx Silk Hat OD

[selfdestroyer]

I had this board populated for a few weeks and just had no time to box it. I was able to get an enclosure etched on Sunday and got it all put together. I really love this pedal going into my Fender Twin Reverb RI. It gives a great low gain breakup and is very dynamic with playing.

I did a reverse etch and shot the enclosure with a metallic Root Beer paint and a flat clear.

Thanks Chi_boy for the great layout.

Just stellar. Triple bonus points for using hex knobs on a bee-themed pedal. I have a lot of love for this circuit, too. Highly recommended.

One of the best etches I've seen.  Fantastic.

Thanks for posting this, and great job!
I went to VIPfx site recently to pick up an All Star Reverb, and casually picked up a couple Silk Hat boards, not knowing it would become one of my very favorite overdrives!
I recommend it highly ... it adds "just enough" drive to enhance your amp.

It gives a great low gain breakup and is very dynamic with playing.

Thanks Chi_boy for the great layout.

that's it exactly, in a nutshell

Thanks everyone for the kind words. It really was a fun build and is definitely a pedal that will be on my board. I found last night that it pairs up with my modded Blues Breaker very well.
