did you make the enclosure?
the enclosure itself is a 1590 ( some companies make them with with non rounded corners and a more polished aluminum) i put a linoleum print on and clear coat. here it is with the (mismatched) knobs
I've been kind of a lamer lately, doing more mods to commercial pedals than full builds of my own. I just wrapped this NPN germanium boost up tonight...
For all you component geeks, that's an Allen-Bradley precision pot, an NTE 103A transistor, and those caps that look like graham crackers taste just like them.
I love the smell of solder in the morning.

It's funny you should mention, I was drooling over how nice that looked. Legit.

Thanks, man. The top of the enclosure was a pic taken from the Internet. I tweaked it a little in Photoshop but it etched just like the original graphic. The sides were just pics of scrap metal. The detail didn't come out too great but overall I was satisfied with the final result. I through the graphics together super fast because I hadn't made anything for myself in a long time and it came out way better than etches I spend loads of time on. I think I'm gonna acetone the box a bit to get more of a distressed look.
Your PLL think looks dope. Video please!
that enclosure is FANTASTIC! i don't know if all the shardyness of the graphic was attributed to happy accidents, but if so, keep them. it definitely works.
