Title: White Pony (Wolfshirt)
Post by: MadPostman on July 08, 2012, 08:58:44 PM
A complex and harsh fuzz, I really like this one. Great project MadBean!

I had mentioned earlier that I would never try to paint an enclosure again but I'm glad I did. The decals are actually just cutouts from a high gloss paper and glued on, finished in a clear acrylic. I can't believe this worked as well as it did. Quite tedious though.

This is a bit of an homage to one of my favorite bands and albums, The Deftones "White Pony".

Nice clean looking design scheme you hae.
This is the madbean take on the fOXX Tone Machine right? I need to build one of these, I love Tone Machines and my own is slowy dieing. I need to retire it and get a new one.

Looks cool man, i love the look of white on color, wish it wasn't such a PITA to do :)

Also like your presentation.  The background material in photo 1 looks almost galactic. May i ask what it is?  Green foil? I could stare at it for hours...

Sounds like a great idea for a pedalboard with lights :o

Boom. icecycle66 is correct. Glass top patio table.

I never realized how much more difficult it was to screen white on color in comparison to dark on lights. I definitely took the hard route.

Nice build.  I like the white on red theme.

Interestingly, I am about to box up my Wolfshirt (just gotta finish painting and etching the enclosure).  The artwork is done and titled White Wolf.  Soon there will be a litter of white animal themed pedals.  Maybe I'll have to get around to boxing up a White Llama pedal as well.   ;D

I got dibs on White Rabbit!  ;D

Yeah, that's a very nice build.  White Pony is one of my favorites of theirs, right next to Around The Fur.

Awesome-looking build!

I've got my Wolfshirt board (prior version to this one) about half-populated. If I didn't already have a penny vein enclosure I want to use, I'd be joining the white animal party! Cool theme. But it would not be a white snake!  ;)

Thanks for the kind words everyone. This is one of my favorite completed builds so far.

After finishing this I immediately thought of doing a "White Rabbit" themed enclosure too! Alas, I'm not the first. I've seen a few on the DIYStompBoxes Forum. Doesn't mean we can't put our own spin on it.  :)

Great to see so many Deftones fans.
