frodog wrote:First finished pedal y'all. T-Amp PCB from Mask Audio Electronics. An easy build which I did in parallel with three other circuits (yet-to-be-boxed). Of course the enclosure was the most time-consuming. I drilled, sanded and washed it, then sprayed it with a grey base coat, then pink (sanded), then painted it with various model paints I had lying around, and finished it with like 5-6 coats of clearcoat.
The inside looks a bit rough but everything works. Had to mount the short-legged pot above the PCB with some solid copper phone wire. Fitting the LED was among the more difficult things, it's a big one and wouldn't fit under the circuit board as I had hoped (guess I could have mounted it sideways). I used one of those transparent round LEGO "lights" as a bezel (need to lacquer the top, that sunken hole is gonna collect dirt) and Sugru mouldable glue holds it in place. Floating 5.6k resistor for extra dimness.
Oh, and it sounds great! Can't wait to box up the SFD next (also from MAE).

To be honest this was a bitch to paint. I basically sat with the box in my lap, various old and new paints and tiny brushes in front of me, just smoking doobs all night, hunched over, trying not to slip up (luckily I don't have much else to do). The "liche purple" miniature paint from the '90s especially got lumpy fast, and you can see the "T-Amp" writing is not perfectly straight. Also the first layer of clearcoat ate right through a patch of paint under the "P".
It's alright though, I didn't expect to get a perfect result the way I did it... Next enclosure I'll do simpler, just a lino cut stamp job right on the base coat.

Games workshop paints are so good though.. they last forever. Looks great man

Well, *cough*, I also got a bit carried away with some the the caps, ....
But hey, this is about large components, innit?
Now, I'm ready to go back to troubleshooting that other mess.
