The idea was to see if the usual boring box could be blionged up a bit ...

The project is Merlin's echo with a mod for true bypass
Next I think is a phaser...

    all done inside. relays either
side of switch are for bypass.


metal work ...
 

Spring from an old torch, switch is latching pb (nice feel, not as hard as stomp button)


This is the pedal. The pedal cover is the bottom of an abs box -- it takes no pressure

D0000d! That is awesome! Nice engineering and results.

Care to elaborate more about how you did everything?  Tools planning etc ,I'd love to hear.

Thanks. Yeah it took a week but now I know how to do it it should be easy -- I have no 'special tools' just a drill and a few files etc. Lots of filing on this one but not the next.
BTW for this project the labels were printed onto good q paper and then I used sticky clear film on both side.
Sometimes I use Lettraset and sometimes I have a process invloving overhead transparancies.
