MIDIbox of the Week: Midibox Plus by BL

[Lima]

Hello, seeing that's this is my post in this beautiful forum, I would like to introduce myself:

I'm Marco and I'm from Italy.

Last summer me and a friend have build a couple of midibox plus  ;D

these are a couple of photos:

yeah! Back to the roots! :D

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?

[reboot]

very nice and well done Marco !

[Lima]

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.

These are a couple of other photos:

this one shows better the true color of the timber used for the side

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.
