guitar pedal porn

so ive still been building when i can, i had a few nice comments on the swirly painting that ive done before so i figured id share the latest one i did for a friend. its a Tubescreamer clone, modded to hell, it will slay any stock tubescreamer you put beside it. very similar to the one diesel Doug got from me last year.

heres the upskirt shot, pretty tight in there but it works, even got room for a battery!

all its missing is knobs.

and heres one in a little metal tin (see WTB forum) this is for my buddys 30th bday tonight, hence the name i got my wifey to paint on the side, i cant paint that nice, i paint like a five yr old. this things SCREAMS!! for 3 resistors, 2 capacitors, a few diodes and a tranny, this thing kills. great distortion, when its dimed, it sounds like a marshall, just screams, im building one for myself this week, considering its like 10-15 bucks all in, this is a ton of bang for the buck. no LED.

the circuit board is samller then a 9v battery

if youve got any small metal tins, drop me a line. if you need a sweet distortion pedal for under 50, drop me a line

thanks for looking!!

Killer bud! Love the paint jod on the tube screamer. Tony will be happy!

yeah it looks all chocolatey and tasty. its getting some chrome knobs, i cant put the cheapo black ones on that pedal, and i cant for teh life of me find creme coloured knobs locally, so chromies it is!

note the baggie of inspiration in the dirty 30 pics lol.

WOOPS!

That looks like a chocolate swirl cheesecake.

Nice!

yeah, my buddy Brad said he wanted some colours i usually dont use, cuz i do a ton of these swirl jobs for this pedal company, so he wanted something different. I suggested browns n creams, make it look all desserty or like one of those fancyass coffees, and he said yeah. Hopefully he digs it. It looks good enough to eat for sure. Building this i finally figured out my newest fav. tubescreamer configuration, 2 3mm red LEDs vs. 1 stock diode. It frigging kills. This will cut thru the mix no problems, not too middy like all TSs tend to be by design, this one sounds fekkin awesome!!

im just glad to get two more effects out of the project bin and into boxes and happy homes.

I'd like to see you make a cake that looks like a line-6 DL-4

[Tooly]

thats probably doable lol, my step sister has been making wacky cakes for years now, i know shes done a few guitarcakes

Ever get into etching your boxes instead of just painting?

ive always meant to try some etches, as when we moved into this new house, there was and still is a big bottle of muriatic acid in the workshop, just never gotten up the guts to try it yet, or the free time.

it would be nice to think up a sweet small logo and then etch it onto all the back plates

[SaggyBalls]

What about etching the logo into the front and filling it with paint before painting overtop? Any wear or attempts to undo your efforts would make the logo visible.

a voodoo doll with jacks (1/4" or patch bay plugs) instead of pins would be an awesome logo but that'd be way cooler for a Gelaskin or wall-mounted painting than on a stompbox.
