Really having a ton of fun playing with this one. Brilliant work.


Yes, I got the jack top-mounted. I used Smallbear's smallest, Shaved them down and took them right to the edge. Nerve-wracking. That's also a 1776effects relay bypass in there.
The box is etched, painted and envirotexed. That can of red glitter blast is going a long way.  ;)

Were you able to top mount it in a 1590BB?  Or did you have to move up to a 125BB?

It's a 125BB.

Very nice! So, how does the gathering storm sound? Does it cut through, like a knife of dreams, or does it sound cold and wet, like winter's heart? ;) ;)

I am going to put mine in a 125BB too, with top mount jacks.  Good thing I have some of those jacks on hand already.  Thanks for blazing the trail!

You're on a roll with some top notch builds. I've got my flintlock all populated and ready but I've left it on my procrastination pile for the last few weeks as I always have a hard time biasing flangers. Seeing your pics, I might have to get back to it...

How does the gate function? What pot did you use for it? and what JFET did you use?

Just teasing, this looks amazing!

bad ass build jubal!  very glad you like it too!
what is the story with the red glitter paint?  are you filling some of the etched out areas with it?  it looks awesome.
i figured with the right jacks top mounts in a 125bb would go, but it's impossible to tell unless you commence t'drillin holes.  i think it could also be done with those group buy kobiconns but we won't know until someone tries it.

Yeah, i etch, then tape, paint & sand. I've not reached level Cody yet, but I'm getting better at it.
