yeah! Back to the roots!
The simpliest, cheapest and best midibox ever!
Maybe not the most simple - those look like custom PCBs for the CS to me I like the way there’s a kind of ‘border’ around the
buttons!
What kind of timber is the casing? it’s a nice tone, is it some kind of American Oak?

Thanks a lot for the good words! ;D
The timber is mahogany but for the bottom I’ve used some standard ply
The buttons’ pcb is custom.

Mahagony… are you sure? I get 2 peaces of mahagony after alot of hunting which I save for secial case, but mine is darker and kinda more redish than yours. Maybe it is because of camera… Annyway, nice box and nice knobs.
