Congrats on the first build.
I hardly see them in Penguin tins. I hardly see those kinds of slider switches too. How about quick shots of the inside?

I think most people are too lazy to cut a hole to use a slider switch, than just drill a single hole and stick a regular toggle switch in.

Looks nice and professional that way though, you barely even notice the jacks and switch.

Here's the inside. Pretty messy.



This is the electronics before I put it in the tin. I haven't cut down the prototype board yet, and the opamp isn't in yet either.


Cutting out the hole for the slider switch was a pain in the arse, and I kind of messed it up. Note how my photos don't really show the slider switch :P

If I build another one, I'll definitely stick to a toggle switch.
I'll move the pot down to the side too; once I plug things into the input and output jack, the cables do get in the way of turning the pot.

Don't mind at all! After all, capitalization is the name of the game.

Those are nice enclosures! I really like the wood and metal combination.

That power cord is definitely overkill, but looks great!

I know what you mean. Every custom idea I had in regards to my case has been a challenge. I'm getting them to work one by one, but the time factor is enormous.

A nice look you've got there. Good job!

Got bored, had a Hammond 801C lying around.. so I decided to make this beast using a bandsaw or two..





This is a repost of that which is posted on the PPAS build thread..

It charges off of 9v batteries and 12v wallwarts, and runs for about 24 hours.
Heh. I think I have about 4cm^3 worth of volume left in there.. everything is jammed together.
