This Lightspeed is interesting. Probably the 4th or 5th TS circuit I've had (Bad Monkey, Surfing Bear, SD-1, Lightspeed off the top of my head) plus trying a shitload of others, and it's really at the top end of those I've tried.
@Keefy You might struggle to get a battery in the current BMpi kit, by the looks of it. IIRC I did manage it on a previous BMP build from fuzz dog but that was using an older circuitboard. What I can say is the Ram's head is my favourite muff by miles, and the FD version is cracking. I added an extra switch on mine to flatten out the mid-scoop and I wouldn't be without it now. Look forward to seeing yours!
For finish I am thinking of white paint with hand-drawn text and graphics in violet gel or paint pen.
Tempted to order a new fuzzdogs kit to give me something to do for an evening or two during the lockdown. Just can't decide what - maybe the analog-like echo since I'm not really into my DD3. Is the opto-puss switch a good upgrade from a normal clicky switch?
Need to get on google and see if there's anything new in pedal knobs I should be aware of
EDIT: That's the 1590B+ - ordering one off EvilBay
Now i'm deciding what to go for next. This could turn into an addiction...
The hammered finish is a bit splotchy and there are a coupe of dust flecks etc, so I think I'll flat it back and give it one more thing coat in a couple of days once this has hardened. But generally it went on very nicely, dried quickly and looks great.
I actually quite liked the "sanded red" vibe, so was almost tempted to leave it as-is, but the copper is definitely better. I hope it stays this shiny, unlike the previous "chrome" silver I tried that looked *amazing* when fresh but went dull after about a week. This stuff seems to be designed for outdoor furniture (park benches etc) so I'm thinking it should be pretty hard-wearing.
I might do a whole bunch of rustic copper pedals if this one comes out as I'm hoping.

The copper one is coming on too. Sanded back and fresh coats going on nicely this evening. Should be in a state to build the innards by the weekend. I have another knobs order in with Banzai for a shitload of knobs for posting-up some old builds and keeping in stock for future ones.
I've also just seen Fuzzdog have some matte powdercoated 1590BB boxes, so I might grab a KOT and/or EQD Sunn Life next - those won't need spraying!
1. 1590B box - Project would fit, but not with a battery.
2. 1590B+ box - Last used for a Silicon Fuzz project. Unfortunately the holes are in all the wrong places. I have ordered another one, which should allow me to fit a battery in too.
3. Mahoosive project box bought cheaply when Maplin was closing. Probably too tall for a pedal, but might turn it into some kind of load box and/or DI gadget.
If you wanted to use your existing one you might be able to use the current holes if you don't board-mount the pots but connect them on wires instead?
