Wow, Sush, those look great. I have a Robot Butterfly May slot. Looking forward to making noises with it. My art would be a crooked stick figure with round hands so I'm impressed.

@Sushi Box FX the two digital pedal pics are powder coat with UV atop?
If I have to draw something by hand it's pretty well limited to stick figures, but if I can take stock photos and clipart, convert to vectors, change colors, and play with background, I can make something pretty decent
Nope, the black in there is actually printed on, these are still raw on the sides. I tried full-color UV printing over a black enclosure last month and I can kind of make it work, but not well enough to really make it viable.
So there seems to be something about the white UV ink that just doesn't look great by itself, it gets a weird texture sometimes. Every other color prints consistently great. So I decided that I would try something a little different this month. On black enclosures I'm trying out matching the artwork color to the knob color (where possible). I think it looks pretty neat
Alright, last couple pics then I'm going to bed.
These look really good, almost ADASo there seems to be something about the white UV ink that just doesn't look great by itself, it gets a weird texture sometimes.

My PA May order it’s a Rainbow’s end enclosure with red knobs and leds... The red lettering will look awesome on that one!!
Some pretty nice looking art options, @Sushi Box FX.
Any update on what the Westinghouse people for March should be doing? You mentioned you're still waiting on new PCBs, yeah?

Still waiting on the new PCBs, they're out for delivery today, I'll get one put together tonight to make sure I went in the right direction. If that works out I'll have everyone that wants to have a low-voltage option on their WH ship theirs back to me and I'll replace the board and check the tube for microphonics. Not every tube that went out in March is microphonic, but the ones that are will be replaced.Some pretty nice looking art options, @Sushi Box FX.

If you don't care about the low voltage option and want to keep your WH as-is, I'll just find out who has a microphonic tube and send out replacements for those that do.
If you liked the variable voltage option and the switch instead of a knob is a deal-breaker, I'll completely understand and send you a return label and refund you for your purchase.
Everyone that contacted me for a new tube (when I thought that was all it needed) will be contacted via email regarding this once I've verified the new boards and have a clear path forward.
Learned a few lessons with the Westinghouse experience, which is why I haven't been rushing to release SBVT and Gondwana.
I believe that fractured cherry Westinghouse is mine. And I am very happy.

The switch intrigues me and mine definitely needs a new tube, so I'll stay tuned for details!

Sounds great Nathan! Once you have a switch mod confirmed for the Westinghouse I'll send mine back to you for the switch mod and tube replacement, along with my Wattson at the same time for the volume mod on that.
Re the SBVT and Gondwana, this is the way. I'd rather wait till after your summer "vacation" for a solid release rather than see it rushed out the door. I'd graciously accept the solemn duty of "beta testing" if you need volunteers to confirm your product.
I mean if he needs beta testers I guess I could take one for the team too for science
Would those be the 'full color artwork'? Would those colors be the same on just a plain raw metal enclosure?
Those are the full color on a raw enclsoure, the "raw/simple" artwork looks a little different. Echosaurus would look just like this but on a raw background instead of green:
Raw/simple artwork for Robot Butterfly will look like this:
