Here are my 1st three builds.
1. BYOC 250+ built to 250 specs.
2. BYOC Confidence Booster enclosed with LED.
3. EA TREMOLO (PCD board from GGG) with sourced parts and flashing LED.

Just some Krylon primer, paint and clear coat. 2 coats each, no sanding. Waterslide decals before clear coat for the simple graphics. The finishes are pretty good, I should have wiped them down and gotten smudges out before pics were taken, OOPS!

I did not take pics under the hood because my wiring is a little messy. My soldering is very good (I had an electronics expert friend of mine review), but I will open them up and fix the wiring.
No snags in the builds. They sound great. Exactly as I expected. Used them last week at a gig opening for GREAT WHITE and their bassist Sean McNabb told me he like the tone I got.
I am hooked now. Can't wait for the Flanger and PingPong Delay. In the meantime, I am also building from scratch a Boss BF-2 and DOD FX60 (if my schematics reading skills don't fail me).
Thanks for all your help guys. I have learned a ton from these boards.

Lookin good! I like themes. They look good together on a board. Glad to hear, too, that Great White is touring again.

Simple works. Easy to see what your settings are, plus they look cool together.
Nice job!

Those are full face waterslide. That was the hardest part of the whole process.....getting them aligned. I printed out so many test runs and cut before i finally got some that were close.
You can see that they are a little off here and there.

Anyone know a good way to get them right? Somekind of program?

The color is plain old Krylon "Almond".

I am debating whether to keep the graphics consistent for my next bunch of builds or try something a little more involved.

Thanks for all your kind words.

What value pot did you use when you enclosed the confidence boost and how do you like it?

Thanks

Steve
