This is huge !!!
No, this VERY VERY HUGE !!!
The bigger, the better.
Great job, great finish.
I love those large amp-style LED bezels.

An order switch would have been a great addition to your build so as to reverse the phaser and overdrive order in the chain. I've built a smoothie with vibe mod and I like it better before the dirt.

Amazing build. I always wanted to find a way to put an amp or volt meter onto a pedal but could never find one in the right range or that small. Where did you get those? And what are they measuring?

Wow, what a fantastic build.  Really great execution and look.

If you ever do this type if finish again, I highly recommend using one an enclosure from PPP with their transparent copper finish.  That would look great.

Me and my wife are seriously impressed. I think it looks like a 50's plane cockpit control panel or something. Awesome.

Got it from http://www.tube-town.net/ttstore/product_info.php/language/en/info/p3681_Kippschalter--1-polig-EIN-AUS.html

The amp meter is also from Tube Town

Diameter is 33.8mm.

Sure, you can it is the copper translucent color here:

Btw, my comment wasn't taking anything away from this build.  It looks fantastic.

I just thought I'd mention it because I think the copper would fit in very well with your steampunk vibe.

Yes, a great suggestion. I used to use/mix different types of sheet metal on my '1 in 1'  ;) stompboxes before. I really like the contrast!

Not without a demo and gut shots. Though I agree this should be a contest entry.

OP: You should get a hold of your friend and ask them to let you take pictures of the insides and film a demo. Or ask them to do so before the month is out if they aren't close enough to pay a visit.

Thats an ultra-cool device.

I like the "Schlagbuchstaben" labels - No idea how this translates to english :-)

Damn straight it's awesome. I think it's right out of an old Flash Gordon movie.

'cept it's in color, not B&W. :-)
