My wife says the next pedal I buy parts for needs to be put in a pink enclosure. She doesn't play, has no desire to make a box, but she want's me to make one in a pink enclosure.

My first thought is to build my prototype buffered booster into it, the pedal that I can make most inexpensively and use to promote my own pedal making with other guitarists, but that doesn't scream "I need a pink box!" What kind of project screams "I need to be in a pink box!?!?"

Big Muffs are great in pink. But stay away from the one's colored in pearl!

My thought about pink is that the circuit should be the most heinous, manly fuzz/distortion/noisemaker you can put it in.  

I have a modified Fuzz Face in a pink sparkle box that gets a lot of attention.  Of course with David Gimour's association with the Big Muff it makes a lot of sense to put one of those in a pink enclosure.

If you are into synthy stuff, a pink/white noise generator could be cool. It could let you do the Bill Ruppert "Effectology" thang!

That would be my thought, though I could also see going with something really twangy to go with my pink electric 12 string.

Oh, I didn't know I'd be making it for your Gabriel. I think my wife would want me to keep it on my pedalboard.

I propose you give me that twangy pick 12 string, then I can build the pink pedal to go with it...









;) (kidding.)

But seriously, BMP is the current leader. But still open for suggestions.

whenever i think of a pink enclosure it's usually an ibanez ad-80, so... throw a delay in it.
it's not a BURST BOX  it's a circuit box with burst button...

I agree. Maybe a Dr. Boogie, or BSIAB2. Personally I would do a pink box and make it as girlie as a guy can make it. Flowers, ponies, pixies and rainbows. The contradition between the inside and outside would amuse me. But I'm a bit of a goof with my sense of humor.

I have a NPN range master (a.k.a. Phillip's Range Blaster) in a pink box. I call it "The Barbie Blaster". I still have a lot of the pink spray paint left, so I'm considering painting one of my speaker cabinets pink.

I reckon take the recent Dirtbox, a red Llama and a 49er in series, by Bean and call it "Rosy Cheeks"

For the boys who like Pink! ??? :icon_redface: :o

Dude, this one is a no-brainer!  That pink pedal is just SCREAMING for Eric Clapton's "Woman Tone"!   :icon_redface:   :icon_mrgreen:   :icon_twisted:   :icon_lol:   :icon_rolleyes:

I put a Tube Screamer into a bubble gum pink enclosure for someone. It looks pretty cool, actually.

I did a graphic layout in Gimpshop for a rehouse project I never got around to. It's an Uglyface and the background is hot pink. It has big, bright yellow lettering of the word "Uglyface" that takes up about 2/3 of the face of the pedal. Cool looking design with great contrasting colors. I'm at work or I'd upload the image. Maybe later if I can remember.
