Pictures!

I'm going to guess and say... base coat, then spray water on the enclosure, then spray top coat on the wet box, then wait for the water to evaporate. Am I right?

ok, last time I metioned the process was part of some stuff I do professionally - so some is trade secret stuff,
but here's the broad idea,
PA-10 etch primer - the red stuff they use on boats, thats the one
use different aerosols, vinlys, enamels etc - cheap sprays are the best because they'll go mental in the oven, of with
other chemicals.,
and use just mist, tiny bits of paint - and build it up
also I buff between coats with rags, no sanding between coats - just buff
these do take a long time, longer than building a lil booster pedal, for me anyway
oh - and hammerite paint is fun at really high heats, but watch it doesnt fizzle and spit at you

[darron]

so then i woke up from the aftermath.. wondering if the fragments of memories i had resembled the truth. and there it was... the sweetest looking pedal i've ever seen.




it's an optical tremolo

Aren't the pieces sticking of?

i soaked the whole thing in a two part epoxy made famous by chad. should be pretty durable (:

still, have one falling off every now and then, hopefully from the very thick areas.

just a bit of fun.

It's been hours now and noone posts the obvious, it looks like I have to make the joke myself...

Looks good enough to eat 

[deadastronaut]

i guess it sounds sweet!...


sorry..i'll get my coat....

[frequencycentral]

I just bet that pedal will be a commercial success, you'll sell hundreds and thousands.

[bluetubes]

Whoever buys that willl get Just Desserts!    

[Fender3D]

yep
Dessert Storm would be a nice distortion unit...

Hi there, I've been reading through "free stomp boxes" (why does this forum replace it with "..." ??) for a long time, gathering info on how to make pedals. Now a few months later I'm all into this. I'm making a few pedals per week and I love it! Here are a few photos and sorry I don't have any gutshots. I'll post some later if people are interested.

I'm working on a lot more pedals and other types of pedals. It's fun!

[tasos]

Great hand work there!
However you should apply lacquer to get a better shinny finish...
Also you could change your knobs!

[geiristudio]

Thanks! Yes definitely. I'm experimenting with varnish on my next pedals. Hopefully it will turn out better. I still like it though!

[Mac Walker]

Sounds great, that riff at the end has been in my head all day! 

[joegagan]

everybody's stuff is looking excellent! kudos all around. the game just keeps getting better and better.
