It feels like a long time since I've done a build for myself. This is a build of Brian's really cool Dirtybaby board. I built up the board and liked it enough that I wanted to box it so I could actually use it.
The graphic is based on Leonardo Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man. It's obviously a modernized version; I'm quite pleased with the way the etch plate turned out. I did my best to capture some of the little details of the original. :-)

Very nice as usual, those 10mm lens with the threaded ring are perfect... need to re-stock on those.... also! those boss style knobs non-skirted, where did you grab them?

The knobs are from Small Bear. I like them quite a bit, actually. Going to grab some more on my next order.

I'd grab some with you if you're in... end of derail! :P
Bet you feel a little funny when you hit that toggle.
Great build...clean guts!
The Vitruvian Man seems happy with how it came out, too. ;)

I think he's still holding out for a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. ;D
cool build Dave. I really like the circles around the stomp and the big ass bezel

This gave me an excellent chuckle. Hopefully he'll get a big grant, but they're likely to just send him one of those rubber covers.
Great build too!
*teehee*

Probably don't need to introduce vetruvian man to fluff girl...
Awesome build.
I knew right away you didn't build it in likeness of me cause you would have certainly used this toggle if so:

DaVinci's painting was all about geometric proportions. That toggle would've thrown them off.

It's always a good idea to practice safe modulation ...

Agreed. Any thread that gets compared to this is up against stiff competition.

True, but we should not be too hard on would-be competitors.

Sure, but healthy competition can really get the blood flowing.

I see what you did there. lol
Such a controversial build, love it :-D :-D
Any premature comparison would be unfortunate, but it happens to everyone.

If vibrato mode lasts more than four hours, contact a physician.
Boner!!!

People were using somewhat subtle puns that referenced an erect penis. So, attempting to be funny, I skipped straight the subject at hand. Boner!
This thread is starting to remind me of that game in high school/college where the winner was the person who shouted "penis" the loudest in a public area.
Cool finish and über-clean guts!
You should get your vitruvian man one of these "switch caps" just in case... or I'll see you building vitruvian childrens in 1590As in a near future

There is no such thing as safe switching. The only surefire way to be safe is to abstain from switching at all.
Absolutely perfect...masculine pedal :) ;)
lolzors ;D
love it
