wow I don't even use vishay parts in regular repairs
>>
>>2988594
Is that because they're huge and look like beans?
>>
>>2988596
if I need to use precision resistors, I use box ones that much is true
but mostly because its more expensive outside of US
>>
Pretty good job OP. Cloth wire is chef's kiss.
>>
>>2988597
Ah I see, makes sense. I'll admit I partly went with the Vishays because of the aesthetic.

Thank you thank you, I was hoping that detail would turn out well and the Gavitt wire did not disappoint

What kind of pedal is it?
>>
>>2988671
This one is a delay - more specifically the circuit is the Seabed Delay from PedalPCB, which is a PT2399 based delay. Very nice sounding analog-style delay.

Gorgeous. The patina you'll get on the copper will be interesting.

I don't quite get the mil-spec resistor and cloth wire aesthetic but I'm not a guitarist either.

It's got me thinking for sure. For a one-off is it remotely economical to order out a CNC'ed enclosure these days? or is it really something you should already have invested in as a hobby?
>>

I'm also curious about any future patina - I put a coating of Renaissance Wax on the copper pieces which I've had good results with on my copper/enamel jewelry pieces. Definitely seems to ward off fingerprints and the typical darker patina that shows up within a few months if the wax isn't on there.

I'm honestly not sure about getting someone else to CNC an enclosure, in my cursory searches I couldn't really find anyone who would do a one-off out of walnut. Maybe if you had a local shop and could provide the materials? Certainly might be cheaper than buying a CNC machine, but I will say that the Genmitsu has been an incredible value for the price
>>
Very nice looking.
I take it you have coated the inside of the enclosure with conducting paint to form a Faraday cage?
>>
>>2988583
Impressive: Very nice.
>>
>>2989059
Yes indeed! Pretty cool paint, works great

>>2989078
Many thanks

Looks killer. An entire board of bespoke, unlabeled pedals in this style would look sick.
>>
>>2989117
Oh yes that's my goal, got a lot of Art Nouveau references to work from. Kind of surprised no one has really done something similar, unless I just can't find it
>>
>>2988583
as a guitarist I can assure you, you placed the knobs way too close to the foot switch. that thing is useless. pretty but useless. .. that'd the zeitgeist, tho.
>>
>>2989254
Well, for what it's worth I've had it on my desk for a month and it's been great but I see the knob placement issue. Definitely more of an objet d'art than a gigging staple - or maybe just for people with tiny feet
>>
pretty
>>
incredible work OP!
>>
copper plate the footswitch?
>>
>>2992201
Thank you very much!

>>2993502
I was considering that but didn't want to get into breaking apart the switches I have on hand - any recommendations? Maybe it's easier than I think? A matching switch would be sick
>>
>>2988583
very nice OP
What kind of kiln did you use for the enamel, and what was the kiln schedule like? Did it take a long time to cool down to prevent the enamel from cracking?
>>
>>2994170
Thank you! I use a Prometheus PRO-1 for enameling - almost always running it at 1450 F, and I'm just popping the pieces in for around 1.5 to 2 minutes. This larger decorative plate may have been more like 2.5 minutes? I usually let the pieces cool on a rack for 5 to 10 minutes before placing them in pickling solution, that seems to be good enough to prevent cracking
