Built this up for Dandolin from a GGG Brassmaster kit. With this much offboard wiring, it's hard to keep it super-neat inside, but everything is out of the way that needs to be, and it sounds just fine.
The drilling was so tight that it was difficult to get all the hardware to fit with out a little elbow grease. Also, the input jack is so close to one of the switches that the input cable tip actual hit one of the switch lugs when it was fully inserted. So I added some of that liquid electrical tape stuff (along with a tiny sliver of super-thick thermal insulation tape) to isolate the switch from the tip. Works great now.
Finish details: I sanded the enclosure a bit, as it was pretty rough and uneven. Then I hit with two coats of primer (it needed it in order to fill in the unevenness), a thick coat of Duplicolor Metalcast Ground Coat (sparkly silver), then two coats of Metalcast Trans Blue, and finally four friggin coats of clear (the last couple coats of color just drank up the first couple clear coats).

Proud to expand my collection of CultureJam built pedals. I have no doubt it will sound awesome, like a pair of Nubian miniature wethers that just head-butted a red-tailed hawk off a Rhode Island Red pullet. Fierce! And now they're gonna learn some new war cries, thanks to CJ.

Update--this has arrived to pomp and circumstance. It sounds as awesome as the gut-shot looks. If CJ ever offers to build a kit for the cheep shekels again, I'd recommend taking him up on that dillyo.

I had fun with this one. Actually, if you look on the back, you'll see a small blemish that looks like a little star (several small lines radiating out from a center point). That's where a mosquito fell onto the enclosure right after I'd done the second sparkle-coat. I thought the subsequent layers of paint and clear coats would even it out, but you can still see the little leg bits that are buried deep in the finish.
I'm pretty much always up for doing kit building.
