Finally got this wired up last night. I only got to play with it for a few minutes today, at a low volume, just to see if it worked. But, from what I heard in that short time, I'm really looking forward to hearing this at volume. The box is PPP's translucent copper. Its darker than I was hoping for but its still a nice color. Despite the iphone pics, I'm sure the knobs still come across as cream.

And the upskirt, for you pervs :wink:

Now that is a lot of potentiometer :wink:

BTW, has anyone else noticed that Google Chrome wants to auto-correct "potentiometer" to "interventionism"? Cracks me up every time........

Thanks. Its an Alpha brand pot that I ordered from small bear. Its also a perfect example of why I hate putting parts orders together and why I shouldn't do it at 2am. I thought I ordered 16mm. oh well... :lol:

Nice work! Really diggin on the trans copper - I like the little flecks of aluminum you can see through the copper, from the bare enclosure underneath. Adds a nice texture. Gigantorpots for the win. Also for the win - partial right angle wiring job. It says "I don't always wire things up at right angles, but when I do, I prefer to mix things up a bit" :lol:

Hahaha... yeah, you can definitely see the progression from "this enclosure is so roomy, I'm going to do my best wiring job yet!" to "dammit, its getting cramped in here and I just want to get this done so I have my kitchen table back!" :mrgreen:

Clean and neat. I too dig the transparent copper finish. I used that on a build a while back and liked it more than I thought I would.

Ive noticed something about all these klones, why does the pot on the left(from gutshot POV) always have 2 sets of solder points?
