I made your boards tonight, both overdrive and boost done and sounding phat.

What are your thoughts for the case?

Landscape with a switch in each corner? Do you want top mounted jacks? What is your preference for LED colour?

If you decide on a layout I can drill your case this weekend with any luck.

Woot!

Ideally:

Red LED for dirt, Green LED for boost (but any 2 colours is okay really)
Landscape layout
Jacks and power input on top (don't mind if the dials need to come down a bit to fit it all in)

What I really need though is for the boost to only work when the OD side is on. Otherwise, I'm looking at boosted dirty tone being switched off, yielding LOUD AS FUCK CLEAN TONE, which isn't ideal. Is this possible?

Also, can I knock up a full-frontal (lolz) decal for it?

Pretty excited for the Klon and Sunface. Going to be a lot of noise at my house when those things show up.

All of that is absolutely possible. Red and Green LEDs are commonplace, I have loads.

OK, so do you want the Dirt Footswitch on the Left and the Boost one on the Right? Would this be ok?

or perhaps this (although the symmetry of the two effects and controls is compromised.

Decal is cool, I'm looking forward to it.

That one is grand.. but if it's less hassle to just stick 'em all in a row, that's fine too.

Dirt left, boost right, 4 legs = good.

Nah, Triangle and one is totally doable and looks nicer. I should hopefully get another bunch of cases through shortly and can crack on.

When I do I can scan the marked up case for you if you want so you can use it as a template for decalage?

Awesomeness, that'd be great- I was looking for simple Ren & Stimpy pictures to use, but nothing's taken me yet. Maybe I should draw summat myself..

I'm putting these guys, as drawn by my Cousin's kid (as is my Avatar) on my Small Clone:

The cutout is a face he wanted to take home with him as it was too good to leave behind.

Post by **Doog** » Tue Jun 02, 2009 10:35 am

Hahaha, awesome- that musta been a CORKER of a face..

Haze · Post by **Haze** » Tue Jun 02, 2009 4:21 pm

This would look crazy cool on a Small Clone

Post by **Mike** » Tue Jun 02, 2009 10:34 pm

That's the plan. Benecol has done a black and clear version for me.
