Very nice! The MINT is impressively small - could probably be squeezed into any space a similarly equipped CMOY could.

I like how it says "Made in Great Britain" on the cover

Nice job... those little tins are trickier than they look for drilling.

Yes, what pot is that- a Bourns?

yeh, its a 9mm alps.
just needs a bit of tweaking. think i cut the shaft a bit too short so now the knob goes on a bit wonky

Great work there!!!

But I'm also thinkin about that pot. You could have used a shorter one. I'm just thinkin of sticking that amp in your pocket. Same goes for the switch too.

Anyway, thanks for being the first to use the Sours.

Not the first time... see the Cmoy addendum. Was done a while back.
That said, it's still an excellent job. Much harder to deal with round than rectangular.
