Show your pedal guts!

[M. Spencer]

Thank you!  Yeah, I've been using Envirotex countertop epoxy as the clear coat. Its application has a learning curve and the sides are hard to get even, but it is durable and really makes the finish pop.

[Silver Blues]

That'a a clever idea and it does look really good

This is my Mosrite Fuzzrite



Started off as a tayda black powder coated enclosure but I couldn't get a waterslide to look nice on it...
then I sprayed it pink, but that just wasn't right for this,
then I lost my patience and thought f**k it i'll go for plain but jazz it up with some coloured nuts

and here's the insides...........nothing fancy but my first dabble with smd which was easier than I expected.

Think i'll try and get my hands on one of those Dymo embossed label makers with red tape.

Oh and the sound..........SWEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome guys, lot of beauties on the last posts.

It's a grace with a britannia from ROG. It' my second home etched board.

That looks cool! I love Fuzzrites. Where did you get the colored nuts?

I was trippin out on your grounding then I noticed they are PCB mount pots so looks like you couldn't put more than a couple wires on each pin. Is that flying wire in case you decide to ground the enclosure?

[bogey]

Thanks, it sounds better than it looks and i'm still auditioning trannies and caps which is hard because everything sounds good.

The curly ground wire is indeed in case I decide it needs grounding (I took your advice and got some of those solder tags....just need some small setscrews and nuts now).

As for the coloured jack nuts you can find them here...http://cpc.farnell.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?pageSize=25&st=cl14&catalogId=15002&categoryId=700000007202&langId=69&storeId=10180
if you're after a few of each colour mail me and i'll pop them in the post to you

Is it just me or is everybody being diverted to Gieri's 1st post when they click on the latest "guts thread" post?

Nope that's been happening to me too!

Thanks for the link!

So many cool designs in here, thinking of my crappy attempts I see there's a lot to do...
@Tim - how did you do this white text on the black enclosure? Looks fantastic!

[Sensei Tim]

White waterslide paper with a black background.

[mug]

I tried that several times but the decal was always clearly visible...

Thanks anyway, maybe some 100 more layers of clear coat will take me there...

[Sensei Tim]

i'm using probably 5-6 layers of clear on mine.

The trick is to get a good clean cut and to have the waterslide end where the rounded edge of the enclosure starts to help minimize how visible the line is.

[Hozy31]

Hey All, I was wondering what sort of clear coat you folks use. I have been using water based gloss as the solvent stuff melts my decal printing but its not great. Any tips/tricks anyone?

[trom72]

I continue to learn etched board. One is a combo tri-vibe and tube reamer, the other one is double d (not very clean wiring but it sound awesome). All from runoffgroove.

[El-even]

When i see your result on this finish i really want to testing the decal method.
Tim, what ref. is your waterslide decal paper?

[Sensei Tim]

What ref? I don't understand.

I buy mine from an eBay shop out of the NW US.  I can track down the shop name if you like - I don't have access to it right now.

[M. Spencer]

This home etched boards are looking really sweet.  What's the build time difference vs using vero?

Hey John,

Do you use that little spacer ring with your fresnel lenses or are you using some other method to secure them in place?
