Title: Late to the Arcadiator game
Post by: diablochris6 on February 10, 2018, 05:52:10 AM
I finally got around to building an Arcadiator with the extra modulation board, and boy was it worth it! This is a blast to play.

I designed a neat design for the enclosure using the cover art for Super Breakout, but the acetone transfer ate away at the Tayda powdercoat (I know acetone tends to destroy paint, but I got a good transfer with a Hammond-painted box once), so I sanded the top down and left the orange coat on the sides. After another failed acetone transfer on the bare face, I transferred the image via heat but at a cost of detail. I plan on putting on orange Boss or Davies knobs, but who knows when I'll get around to that...

And I had so much fun with this pedal that I made a little tribute video for one of my songs from one of my favorite games, using the Arcadiator almost exclusively a drum track and some delay was added).

It's the DC6FX seal of quality. It isn't my build unless Molecular Biology is present.

I tried to attempt something like this, but I found that I wear through my shirts within a year or two. I do wear my Adidas Samba Classics every day and buy multiple pairs to last me a while. Kids notice.

It was originally used for a DeviEver BIT clone, but now it provides my prototype circuits power to stop the evil Gannon.

Oh man I can't believe you built one of those.  It only has 5 knobs but I guess you can count the switches to get you to 9 things on top lol.  Looks great.  I just couldn't resist ribbing you on the low knob count though.
