My First pedal!!!

[Andy]

Just wanted to share this with everyone.  I built this from scratch.  Board to box.

What do you guys think?

It was an El Griton from Tonepad until I changed some part values and added lots more gain to it.

sweet , very clean wiring.

Nice work! What did you do to the box to get that effect?

I ran a Dremel over it with a wire-wheel.  I did it from side to side.  The decals are from moosapotamus's book:  dark tshirt trasfers.  Not sure if I like that method or not though

[Joe Bonner]

Ah, the old Dremel trick. Did you put a clear coat over it?

Reminds me of the instrument panel on a trans am my buddy used to have...

Great job! That is really nice work! Looks like you took your time and paid attention to the details.

I didn't put a clear coat over it cause I wasn't sure if i liked the finish or not.  i took my time on it.  BUT I work in an industry that requires me to pay attention to detail so that came second nature

Am I missing something here? All I get from that link is a picture of the inside of an effect pedal. Didn't see any decals or nicely finished effect pedals there.

Edit: Nevermind....

That looks great!

Clean. Nice work!

PS: As you make more pedals, you'll find the length of the internal wiring and its routing will have a huge impact on some circuits (high gain/high impedance ones). Sometimes the shortest length you can get away with is the best way to go, but other times the interaction of those wires can cause some WONDERFUL strangeness in feedback.

Nice job!

Any pics of the front?

Very Nice Andy~!!
Good job I must say  

Small bear has clear decal stock if you don't want color on it to cover up the cool front.
