#reversed etch

A tonebender on steroids. Russian transistors (GT108G) with such a high gain I had to add a separate gain knob - a 10 K pot between the emitter of the first transistor and ground. If turned all the way up, this effect gets really nasty (in a good way for some sounds).

My first 1590A box as well as my first reversed etch. Quite happy with how all the thin lines came out. 

It was painted with engine enamel. I can really recommend it. After 15 min in the oven it gets rock hard.

Gut shot.
