'SPITFIRE' Metal 'n' Blues Pedal...

[BoogiemanX]

Picasso had to get Acetoned.
New aproach:
1 - use regular ink jet sticker paper as a template
2 - exact knife holes out for light windows
3 - mark holes with sharpie (looks wicked so far)
4 - use drimmel with fine tip cutting bit to carve out holes
5 -  pop the top off a 40 oz malt liquor
6 - get drunk as f@*$!

Don't know if I missed something, but it's 39 pages of this amazing pedal from Rob's and I didn't see one single mention to this as an artwork:

That is a grat idea. Wish you would have posted that before I got so far into my skull design. Green fighter plane metal with rivets, battle worn star decal, and some bullet holes!
That would be sweet. Couple marks on side for kills. Maybe powder burn marks on jacks to look like gun barrels.

Had to redo the graphics a bit. Someone mentioned earlier about my switch orientation being to close to bottom edge and they were right. Had to go back and do alot of photo editing. If I had time I would go back and see who it was so I could give you the credit you deserve. Anyway I put clear box tape on inside of encloser and the filled in wholes with epoxy.

Ta da! Windows. Hard as glass. Looks a little goofy like a retarded jack o lantern but in the end it's only to let the light through. We won't see it. I hope.

Metal Necronomicon? Lol

Not sure you do. Personally, I like the fact the eyes are brighter than the nose and mouth. Extra LEDs might be overkill.
Also, is the image you're showing the final print or a positioning proof? The blacks look a little weak. The effect will look much better with a higher quality print.

I think you guys maybe right about over kill on the leds. What I had planned was to make the nose and mouth light up when switched from classic to modern. I might still do that but with just enough light to give them a little glow.

The print I am very disappointed in. It was decently dark on regular paper but it printed extremely light on Testers white waterslide paper. That print I will be using as a practice run sense it is my first time doing decals. Then I'll acitone it all off and put a good print on.

[BoogiemanX]

I really wanted to make the leds pulse fade when switched but that requires a 555 timer and a 1000 uf cap and there's not enough room in a 1590b. Well maybe if the board is in 2 pieces jumpered on sides of 3dpt but that's just too much. Or is it?

Going to try something when I finish boxing this one. I'm going to run a Spitfire at the end on my fx chain after everything and all but have one in front of each amp.

[BoogiemanX]

Just tested that with spit on one side and ds-1 on other. It added a nice layered fullness to the sound. Only problem is distortion will destroy any effect before it. I did put the ds-1 before the Spitty on low and it gave it a nice boost.

If you have spare switch poles, switch LED colours.  Or switch on an extra blue or green one in the box and have a bit of colour mixing going on.

Yeah i considered switching to blue. Like "fire n ice".
