Gudday all.  Here's my build of Paulinthelabs's Brian May Greg Fryer Treble booster on vero.

Laser adhesive paper, overshot with 1k clear.  Only moderately happy with the finish, the sides of the box are pretty manky this time around and there's some weird stuff happening on the top.  The design is pretty cool though imo.

Pretty happy with the guts, probably my neatest build internally.

This looks great Willybomb.  I love the way the graphic turned out and the color choices are primo. Do you like the sound it achieves? Steve.

Thanks, I can't claim the colour choices though - it's the Queen Purple and an attempt at gold as seen on the Live At The Rainbow artwork:

Dunno how much I like it yet.  On it's own, probably not so much, but it was always intended to go into my HT-Dual pedal to boost the tubes. An SHO into that it pretty thick, like adding another channel again, so I'm looking for a different flavor of that specifically for solos.  Since seeing Queen in August I figured I had to try it out - BM's tone in reality was fantastic.

Having said that, I haven't tried in into the HT yet, lol.

Now that it's 2016, and I've actually had a play with it, this thing really shines running into a tube amp.

I took it, along with a stack of other builds, to a friends house on new years eve, and we plugged it into his fender deluxe (?) 30, and it just gave that nice bright edge of breakup thing to the amp.

As a result I have an order for a 2in1 treble booster/sho, a compressor, and a 3in1 that was called 'the dirty box' until his wife saw the artwork we had decided on...

But yeah, brian may treble booster into a tube amp... Very tasty.
