In Australia their kit is listed on this page for the Phaser. It is listed as out of stock so you will have to email them.
With a Kit you would receive at least all of the components, pcb, jacks.
I think you need to add-on the Enclosure and knobs separately to your order.
If you have questions I would email them via this KIT link.
There’s nothing wrong with the circuit or layout — it’s been verified multiple times, both by me and many others.
The first thing I’d suggest is checking all resistor values by color band, since they can’t be reliably tested in-circuit. Here’s a chart from the Guides page if you need a reference. Download the full-color Resistor chart.
Next, reflow the solder joints, especially around everything related to the Gain control, including the potentiometer.
This only takes 5–10 minutes, and in my experience, cold solder joints or a mixed up resistor value are by far the most common issues.
One last check is to make sure there are no cracks in the glass diodes.
If the panel is pre-drilled, the washers from the footswitches and potentiometers will hold it snugly in place. You can still add adhesive if you’d like (E6000 or similar), but it’s not required.
If you’re drilling the panel over the enclosure, then you must use silicone or a similar adhesive and let it set as outlined in the official guide.

That’s wonderful and thanks for sharing!
I think they all look great and a bare aluminum enclosure.
One thing I’ve found on three in a row knob sections like that—those smaller Davies-style knobs can make it a little easier to get in there to turn them, but this still looks great as is.
Great before/after — this really shows the difference the panel makes. The red with the white knobs works really well here 👍
Thanks for posting this!
I took care of making the post appear in the Contest thread.
1st submission:
This is a re-posted submission from jmgrabowski. His original thread here: https://guitarpcb.com/community/topic/2112-build-with-new-faceplate/
Build them in a combo and use them in tandem for max enjoyment. Guitar -> Purple Plexi -> Silver Jubilee -> Amp. Adjust both accordingly.
Or build them both as individual pedals and plug them both in using that order.
Glad you guys like them! The DIY option was added after a few builder requests, and I’m happy to see people jumping on it already. I’ve got more designs coming soon as well.

I also offer custom panels. If you have dimensions and finished artwork ready, I’m happy to produce a one-off or small-batch order.
If you need assistance with layout or artwork preparation, I can help with that as well for a small design fee.
So that confirms why I never suggested that anyone try to use a 1590BB, LOL.
The BB2 was such sigh of relief when I figured out I wanted to do this a few years back and everyone started carrying them.
Kudos to you for making it fit though.
Yeah that one is giving me a SciFi fever dream
Love it!
Did you say you built a NostalgiTone Dual Combo earlier in a standard 1590BB and not the 1590BB2?
Every Pro-Grade Aluminum Control Panel I offer is individually produced by me — not mass imported or factory stamped.
For each panel, I:
• Design all artwork myself to ensure a precise fit over the matching NostalgiTone layout
• I use 0.45mm aluminum — thin enough for clean hardware installation without stacking issues.
• Hand dye each panel to order
• Apply protective masking before processing
• Hand cut every panel to final size and form the corner cuts
• Precision drill each hole using multiple bit sizes for exact hardware fit
• De-burr every edge and carefully inspect each piece
• Package each panel in protective shipping boxes to ensure safe deliveryThere is a significant amount of hands-on time in every panel. I produce these in small batches with close attention to fit, finish, and ease of installation so builders can achieve a professional result without compromise.
These panels are built for builders who care about the details.
Each design includes subtle nods and references — see if you can spot the hidden Easter eggs.
You can now purchase the Beano Bundle that you requested.
Also there are multiple variations of these:
Crazy Train
Metal Godz
If you all have any requests I am open to hear them.
