I recently completed both of these pedal and they're my first foray into etched enclosures. I enjoy the process a lot so I think I'll be decorating all of my pedal this way for the foreseeable future. The Beaver was my first etch. Not too bad! The build was fairly straightforward and the pedal worked perfectly the first time I powered it up. This is actually my first fuzz pedal and the sound blew me away! It's absolutely massive! I love this pedal!

The analog chorus was my second attempt at etching. An artist friend of mine who does a lot of really beautiful woodblock prints provided the illustration. Again, the etching process was easier than expected and turned out great! The build was more problematic. It took a lot of trial and error to get it working. In the end it just turned out to be bad IC's and once they were replaced it worked perfectly and sounds fantastic! Much appreciation for the moderators who took the time to help me troubleshoot.

Indeed. Being pretty much "pit free", they are way better than a lot of people's 1st first etching attempts...
Great looking builds!

These etches are fantastic!

But rules are rules... guts or they're rehoused Behringers!
