Rub-A-Dub that's been a long time coming

So after asking for advice in this thread back in March 2017 about working with Tweed

I've finally gotten my ass in gear and finished a tweed covered pedal.  I've recently gone back to an egnater tweaker and realised just how much I've missed one of these.  They're super cheap but just sound fantastic I genuinely don't know why I sold my old one.  The only thing which really bugs me with the tweaker is the lack of verb and thanks to John and Cleggy I had a rub-a-dub in my build pile.  I couldn't think what kind of finish I wanted so I finally had a go with the tweed and I think it turned out pretty good for a first effort.

This is a recycled enclosure which is why the pcb is upside down

Just tweed


First coat of shellac


Second coat - this was as dark as I wanted to go this time

Ooo, that is clean!

Thanks I'm very pleased with how it turned out.  It's a great sounding delay I defnitely prefer it to the rub-a-dub deluxe.

Classy and tweedy! Very nice! I dig the sound of the ol' Ru a Dub also best. Just spot on.

I love everything about it.  How did you wrap the corners so clean?

I found a pattern on the net for wrapping boxes in fabric and cut the tweed the same way then rolled the edges on the table to smooth them out.
