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.

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. :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:
