They'll fit. It's just what I had. Has huge rubber feet on the bottom. He does like those.

Thanks you guys :hug:
The guts pic was before I had quite finished it up...still had tape on the back of the board, battery clip not in yet.

Believe it or not, the enclosure was already drilled/primed when I found that picture. I got the comic from the Sunday paper, which was actually sonidero's B-day. Think it worked out nicely.

I have another project pretty much finished, just troubleshooting right now. Looks a little something like this...

Fuzz face with 2n3904 silicon transistors. Built the Multiface perfboard layout, which sockets stuff: http://www.home-wrecker.com/multiface.html

I gotta work on my soldering some more. And the case + jacks + switch were previously a BYOC 3-knob Ross Compressor which never worked right, so I had to do a lot of desoldering. Where the previous solder joint just wouldn't come off, I just soldered on top of it, hence the giant globs of solder on the switch lugs. I covered up the top (with extra holes) with a big Google Code sticker I had, and cut up a Laughing Squid sticker to go on the top, because it reminded me of the bottom edge of the Pharaoh, and that made me laugh. :lol:

Sorry if the pictures are crappy. The light wasn't working well with my cellphone.

The super-bright red LED that I put in there made a cool lensflare though! It really is that bright :) I may switch the knobs yet to these:

I like it, it sounds awesome. Very touch-responsive to my playing.
:cool:

$22 for a sweet enclosure + powder coat is actually cheap.

ya not so much $$$ that its the end of the world. and they really are quite well made. i will take pictures of how they open up. The bottom sort of flaps open like a hinge. Nice design work either way, seems like ~18 gauge steel so pretty damn solid too.
