Piet it looks very good and I wish it were mine ! Thankyou for you efforts with regard to Etap2HW and your site and software version. You are a blessing to the people on this site who want the original sounds and we say thankyou for your personal efforts.

Sure looks professional. I'm positive it'll morph into a high class commercially available piece of kit for the wider user base. Guy in the States now has one and he's packed his pedal board to utilise the unit.

I need to add a PS here. When I say Guy, I don't mean the Guy we all know from past experiences. I should have said 'a person I know'

Ecca,

Great enclosure! Great to learn the unit is performing as expected!
Enjoy it!

Hi Piet.Just finished the build of my etap2hw.Powered up,wonderful echos,but no dry signal.Could you maybe point me in the direction as to what is wrong.Your advice would be appreciated.Once again thanks for what looks like being a super product.

There are 2 places on the pcb you can take the output from.
Echo only and dry/echo mix.
Have you come from the right output ?

I thought I'd keep you up to scratch....
I'm working on 2 different eTap2hw units at the moment.
The intent is to have one for myself !
The one has the automation unit, I'm drilling out the new, steel box but I had it made too thin a gauge
and I might as well have cut the holes out with a tin opener.
The other is a stage version with bigger dials, and a rotary switch for program selection, again a steel box.
The problem with this rotary switch is that the only ones available are hexadecimal switches with 16 positions, you can stop this switch down to 8 positions but that will only
travel half way round the switch which doesn't seem to be very legible.
If anyone knows of a BCD rotary switch then let me know.
Both units are lit from the rear so illuminating the dial positions and the lettering.
The 19" rack case are so expensive and the automation unit has to be very precisely mounted.
Cheers

....The problem with this rotary switch is that the only ones available are hexadecimal switches with 16 positions, you can stop this switch down to 8 positions but that will only travel half way round the switch which doesn't seem to be very legible.

If you use a larger diameter knob or with a pointer for the rotary (like on the original Meazzi) wouldn't that help a bit?
