Lab Series L5 preamp in a pedal

Cool, I'm definitely up for an enclosure if you will ship to Aus.
I already have the PCB that I ordered as soon as you released it.

received my board today!!

Just ordered my board and nameplate.  I am definitely on the list for an enclosure.  Can't wait, and then, the Boss Chorus, I think I am addicted....

I am having trouble finding 2k audio taper pot in solid shaft for this project.
Could you tell me where you sourced yours or if I can put a resistor across the outer lugs to mimic the 2.5k A pots needed?
Thanks

Speechless!

If you end up with a extra enclosure, I'd buy it!

Here's one that's the exact value in Europe... only place I've found that has the 2.5k value: (not PCB mount though)

On mine, I think I ended up using the 2k from Tayda, splined shaft, and just using a standard set-screw knob. If you break off the little rotational tab and put that in the slot of the splined shaft, it stabilizes it and makes it work great with set screws.

Or, based on this...

...you could use a 5k linear pot and then put a 22.5k resistor across two lugs and 270R across the other two, and that should get you pretty close to 2.5k log. Haven't tested this though!

Got my boards yesterday, they look absolutely awesome, can't wait to get one of these finished up!

So, international shipping is going to be really tricky for this one.

The enclosures (Mammoth 4S6500) will be 8 or 9 oz. each, at least based on my rough estimates weighing an unpainted Hammond 1590XX enclosure, which is very slightly bigger than the 4S6500.

8 oz. total package weight is the point at which international package shipping jumps from $12.50 to $25. Allow 2-3 oz for the box and packing materials and we're at 11 to 12 oz. for the whole package.

Does anyone know of any cheaper shipping methods that I could look into? $25 is kind of a deal breaker.

Can't help with a cheaper shipping option.
Just wanted to say that I'll pay the 25.00 for international shipping.

[Jules]

It would still be cheaper than me ordering one from Pedal Parts Plus printed, painted and having it shipped to Aus I think. I might stock up on some other Aion boards too.

[aion]

Yes, at that price I could certainly stuff the package full of other boards as well. I think it stays at $25 until you hit around 16 oz.

[Timko]

If you put together a kit with boards + enclosure + label I would be all over it.  I'd also pick up an enclosure alone if there's a group buy for it.

[Isaiah]

25USD shipping to the UK is expensive but doesn't put me off.
I'll be ordering my PCB and logo plate at the same time as the enclosure anyway.

Just got my boards (there are three) and the nameplate and screws.  Man, they look great and can't wait to get this populated and then when the enclosure is available it'll be great!  Kevin is a master at laying out these boards, of course I see PCBs populated or not as art!  Packaged very precisely/organized for shipping too!  Thanks man, you set a hard example to follow for DIY PCB makers!
