Highway to the Danger Zone.....

[TGP39]

Hello guys,
     I realized I have never owned a CD4049 overdrive circuit before so I thought I would give Brian's Danger Zone a test drive.   Well I'm glad I did. This is an awesome creamy to crunchy tone. I just plugged my SG into the DZ into my JC120 clean and went to town. I think I blacked out for a few minutes. Really great tone!  It took me about 1 hour to put the circuit together and test it out (I must be getting better in that department), but it took me days to do the graphics/design and it still came out meh. I need to repaint, but I'll show you guys what I did.



BTW, this is one of Mac's enclosures. Well worth the money for something different.

Obviously Dan (DMinner) has influenced me with new design ideas.



If anybody has suggestions as to better ideas to repaint, let me know. Keep in mind that the 'Danger Zone' part is a regular etch and the knob labels are a reverse etch. Thanks for looking and keep building.

That looks super! Tidy insides and I dig the look you gave it! Has attitude in the best sense of the word!

I'm with the rest of these guys, I think it looks great.

That's a fantastic build!

The only change I'd make to the paint is some fine, delicate detailing with white around the knob labelling.

Otherwise, looks sweet as.

I wouldn't change a thing.. That enclosure looks sweet and the LED placement is a winner.

that thing looks killer. F-in killer man!
I had an interest for that circuit for the longest time. Gotta jump on it soon.
any chance of a sound clip? It would be awesome just to hear a few seconds of it and it's ability to clean up via the guitar vol knob if you can make the time and do it. if not, I still like your build a whole f-in lot!
