Oh, no big deal, just building a custom ABY box.

Check it. Acid etching is really fun, and a bit stinky.

Oh man I love etched cases. Was that etched or blasted? I'd etched, ferric chloride?

It was etched with muriatic acid and peroxide. Tape off what you don't want dissolved!

That is super cool
 
Re: Oh, no big deal, just building a custom ABY box.

Looks great! I use the same solution when I etch. Cheap and works great.

That is one sexy this or that box!
 
Re: Oh, no big deal, just building a custom ABY box.

Nice. Love the switching logic too. And just curious, but did you use an isolation transformer?

No, I didn't really have a need with this one. If the guy who will be using it has grounding issues, I'll add insulated jacks and a transformer.

Never before have I seen an aby box and thought "damn that looks awesome"....until this day. Nicely done.

Thanks for the compliments, all. I plan for more of this sort of designing when I ramp up my building of pedals.

Re: Oh, no big deal, just building a custom ABY box.

Great looking pedal, but what did you do inside? Did you put ground loop transformers in it? I don't know much about building pedals or even how the insides really work but from what I have read most A/B pedals need a ground loop transformer to isolate one side from the other.
