The standard on the builds on this site is just so incredibly high so it is easy to think that your own work looks really bad.
But all your kind words are really encouraging me to keep on building!

Deadastronaut X-fuzz from IvIark's vero.

wow-ee. that finish will put DA (the other) into orbit when he sees it. please explain.

[Willypp]

It's a pedal I made as a thank you for a long term former guitar student of mine who still helps out with my concerts and workshops.

Long story short, it's rustoleum x2 applied way too thick that's been laser etched.

[diydave]

is it an odd thing, the way many of us aren't proud "because of ...."

well ok then.
I am proud about this one: 




It's a zombie chorus, but with jfets instead of opamps for the "dry"-signal. (mn3007 not installed because in use for other project)
Enclosure is also fully home made.

But I admit, seeing al of the semi-pro builds here, it tends under-rate your own work.

[Luke51411]

That looks great! Very classy. I need to do a folded metal enclosure one of these days...

I don't care who you ask, that's a great looking build. If I were to show that to any guitarist I know they would say it's an amazing looking pedal. I have the occasional pedal turn out really nice, but it's definitely hard not to fall into the trap of "Wow, that guy's pedals look amazing. Why do I even bother?" I don't even show my wife other people's pedals anymore because every time I showed her one of pickdropper's creations she would respond with "Why can't your pedals look like that?"

So don't compare your builds to those of others, compare them to actual professional pedals. My pedals are nowhere near as cool as pickdropper or deadastronaut (to name only a couple of the many amazing people here), but my builds still look cooler than anything Boss has ever made

yeah, luke, c'mon, you're the last one to start bending.

diyd - wood always classy-fies everything, but, as a fellow woody bender, you needs to gets some sandpaper on those endplates. I use the dressy woods to cover rivet heads. is that a 'U' overplate and a pair of 'U' sideplates? I wish I could bend Al that neat.

[Luke51411]

Seriously... It's a shame too as I work in an aircraft maintenance shop... plenty of metalworking equipment. I could probably make an enclosure pretty quick but until I do it's just wasted potential.

shop? what types of aircraft fit inside your shop? or is it more like a hangar 

[Luke51411]

Haha yeah it's a hangar. Well several hangars. We work on anything from light business jets and smaller. We also operate a fleet of twin engine prop aircraft as well. Most of the work is on our own aircraft but we have a few maintenance customers as well.

[diydave]

Thx all. Much appreciated. 
Now I can explain my wife this hobby isn't a complete waiste of time.

This was a second attempt at making an enclosure. Taking note about the woodfinish.

is that a 'U' overplate and a pair of 'U' sideplates?

Yes, it is. Made a small bending-brake out of scrapwood, 2 door hinges, some nuts and bolts and an aluminium L-profile.
The aluminium is 1.5 mm (1/16 inch) thick. Cuts and folds very well.

[duck_arse]

diy - if you extend the bends on the jax-end side-U's and drill through, you can use the jax to anchor that end of the sides to the top U, and you lose 2 unsightly rivets (maybe not with plastic jax, and I can't see your jack end panel, so I don't know what trix you are doing there).

nice

(still haven't boxed mine yet.. )

[Luke51411]

RullyWowr's Super Judge. Unfortunately I did not do the graphics or etch, I traded a member of madbean for a few circuits.

[free electron]

Revisited version of the NightTrain OD i posted over 7 years ago. Simplified to a 4 transistor circuit (project page). Still one of my favorite OD sounds in a box!

[Willypp]

nice

(still haven't boxed mine yet.. )

Glad you liked it.  Thanks for putting together such a cool small part count project - it ticked a lot of boxes that I needed ticked in a very short time.

[vigilante397]

OH MY GOODNESS THAT LOOKS SO COOL.

I assume you're aware of this.

Haven't posted a build here in a while. Here is a delay!
