    Check out what I just hacked together:

    http://www.glideonfade.com/images/QElunch2.jpg

    looks pretty cool, eh? Redco did the metal work for me, its two piece folded steel construction. Im pretty happy. Ive got an extra enclosure if anyone wants it, it aint cheap, but its really well made. Email me for details, dave@glideonfade.com

    The EQs are QE, chip festival on the EQ section, but it drives an AM10 into a QE transformer, sounds excellent.

    what do you guys think about the box?

    the enclosure is custom, folded steel and powder coated. Its two pieces, held together by four screws. Really simple, but effective. Ive got one up for grabs if anyone wants it.

    It almost resembles a drawer from an old office desk standing up on end...!

    ..which gives me an idea...! -LA2A lunchboxes are just the beginning!!!

    Great looking project Dave, a quality enclosure really makes it. I'm very impressed with the quality of the projects here in Tech Talk-

    Dave,

    Looks great with the modules loaded in and the power light on. Mind if we use your pic on our website to show the box to others?

    Bill... i just got a pair of wikid 'Electrodyne' EQ's

    Can you tell us a bit about hem cos they look EXTREMELY Q8 ish..

    They sound very nice and smooth and almost 'pultechish' given their passive nature and discrete amp block.

    Cheers
