From 831e74a584bf09d15e459b3a5445871ed5ce287a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Me Here Date: Tue, 26 May 2026 08:10:56 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] As-built: brushed-aluminium/stainless case + 9V DC pedal jack (pedalboard-ready) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit - Case: reskin the enclosure as a brushed-aluminium / stainless faceplate (metal sheen + brushed grain, chrome corner screws, dark engraved legends) instead of 3D-printed matte. The on-faceplate captions switch to the dark legend colour for contrast; I/O-strip labels stay light (they're on the dark recessed bay). BOM enclosure → die-cast aluminium (Hammond 1590-style) / folded stainless. - Power: add a standard 9 V DC pedal jack (2.1 mm centre-negative) so it drops straight onto a pedalboard, alongside USB-C (which still powers it on a desk and carries config). BOM adds the jack + 9 V→5 V buck + reverse-polarity protection. Total ≈ $59.
