2 builds for Bruce

Hello All,
Here are a couple builds I just finished for my friend Bruce in Pray For Sound. The Admirer is a Hamlet Delay with a momentary feedback switch. The trimpot in the base plate controls when the oscillation starts  after pressing the switch. Hats of to Jon (midwayfair) for making a truly beautiful sounds delay. I absolutley love this circuit.
The second is a Sunn model T preamp. The PCB was developed by Benoit at Coda Effects. Super fun and very MASSIVE sounding. Thanks for looking.

     This my friends is the BLACK MESA! The layout and design of the board was done by Madbeans Pedals. The circuit is designed around the gain stage of the Mesa Triple Rectifier. This, as you can see, was a complex build. There are quite a few parts and lots of things that could go wrong. So because I built this for a friend I decided to treat it as an "attention to detail" build. This was very fun and challenging at the same time. After the frustration on the Uproar I need this to go smooth. That's not to say that this didn't have it's own challenges. The decal took 3 attempts. On the fourth it worked. The fourth came out the "best", as you can see it came out wavy. I suspect it's because I used cool water instead of warm when applying the decal. This caused some of the edges to not adhere to the metal and allowed the clear coat to get under the decal.
     The circuit, overall, is VERY cool! The board is designed with a "boost" option. It's hard for me to call it a boost. I consider it more like a switchable contour setting. It does boost the signal a bit but not dramatically. Overall, The amount of gain available and the vintage / modern switch make this monster a substantial beast!. It's a great sounding build and this thing has all the tone you could ask for. The switch wiring was a bit difficult and it took a TON of patience and quite a bit of attention to detail. All in all it was a lot of fun. I hope you guys enjoy reading. I'll post a video of it soon. Thanks for checking it out.

Flanel Boost & Botany Boost

     These Two boost pedals are the same electronics. I did these custom for two customers of mine. The Flanel Boost was built for Darren Hawe. He plays guitar in a band called Mask and Raid. The Botany Boost Was Built For Robert Beal. He plays in a band called The Screen.
     The electronics are based on the AMZ Mini Boost. It is a vero layout of the schematic. I used some different components but stuck pretty close to the Schematic. Here are some pictures.

The Botany Boost:

I was able to build both boost pedals in a Hammond style 1590A enclosure. This is a challenge do to the sheer size of the enclosure. I hope you enjoyed reading. There will be many more to come!

UPDATE:
Here is a Video of the Flanel Boost
