A local radio station engineer/sound tech/guitarist wanted me to duplicate a popular combo I did a few years back. He really loved the versatility of the ODC and DIstortion + combo I have as a demo in my shop. The combo features all of the usual options for these circuits as well as order switching that really impressed him.
Lately, I have been doing the enclosures in a brushed aluminum finish. It’s really very easy. I use a 220 grit belt sander for about 30 minutes to get the finish. Then I spray 2 coats of clear acrylic to make a base for the waterslide decal. The decal is printed and sealed before transferring to the enclosure. After drying, I protect the whole enclosure with several coats of clear acrylic. I find this process to be faster than trying to paint enclosures and I like the industrial look it provides.
