Here's another one finished on friday evening. This is my favorite build so far, despite some imperfections. It was a tight fit in a 1590B! I don't know where I got the idea from, but I've seen it before.. I added a transparent bottom plate and some LEDs on the side walls to make the pedal glow (always on, btw.). I added a little daughter board for the LDRs in the corner. The guts were really nice before I started adding all the LED stuff :D

Enclosure is etched with FeCl3 and toner transfer. You can see, it's still work in progress as the etchant worked its way through the mask...
I tried various Ge and Si diodes for the second clipping option but went with red LEDs in the end. Besides the nice tones, one reason was that I could bend them to the upper edge of the enclosure. This way, you can see them glow while playing, which I think is pretty cool :)
I have another Kingslayer in planning for a friend and I think I'll take a higher resistance pot for the volume. I never go over 10 o'clock with that one...
Hope you like it too. Cheers

Cool stuff!

I think I first saw the glow plates on diystompboxes.
always the beautiful answer who asks a more beautiful question.

Wow thats awesome :)
i really love the LEDs at the bottom. you used a transparent bottom for the case right?
I saw this somewhere before, and it just looks magnificent :)

also: nice enclosure ;)

thanks, yes the bottom plate is transparent. Just an old sheet of plexi glass cut to size. pain in the ass to drill though as the plastic is melting...
