It's the result of grinding the pedal surface. I think it's a sort of aluminum alloy, more zama than aluminum    , The etched surface, compared to an aluminum pedal is little deep (with the same etching time). Anyway I like the aestehetical result 

Finally I finished my own! Awesome projects.

Sweet I'm in the process of putting one together myself! What did you use for the electrolytic? (last piece I'm missing)

C3 is empty cause I used 4,7 uF Panasonic cap on C2, instead of 3,3uF and 680nF for C2and C3. All electrolytic caps are Panasonic.

supossedly makes little (if any) difference so I'm going with a 4.7uf as well.

Reading MadBean wah documents 4,0uF doesn't change a lot instead of 4,7uF. Remember that the tolerance of electrolitic Panasonic Cap is +/- 20%.

That's looking really cool! What enclosure did you use?

An original dunlop Wah

Very cheesey work! Meow new year!

A weener wah with whipple iductor, pio cap for the 10nF (C7), and two orange drops witn 5,6nF (C6) and 33nF (C8). Pot is Banzai dedicated (Pec mil style modified) Icar style 100K. A switch for changing R7 (100K or 33K) in order to have  a wider "Q". It sound vintage ean flexible with mods.

Best wishes for all!

I changed the values suggested by Bigzed and it sound like the demo watched on you tube.
Thank you Bigzed!

You must prepare the surface, cleaning it and removing any scratch etc; remember that the gold leaf will amplfy any signs.
I spried with an aibrush (or you can use a brush but the effects is not good) a specific glue (vinilic) (I used for saving money 50%glue - 50% water) buoght with the "golden" leaf in a painter shop.
You wait until the surface glued (withe) became trasparent (less and more one hour); after you put the leaf over the surface and you cana use a soft brush to remove the excess of the leaf. After you can spray a gloss coat in order to protect the thin "gold" layer. Here below a link (in english) of the italian producer

When the economy goes on trouble buy gold!
This is a "golden" La Vache that I called Tweed.
I used a "golden" leaf, like the best barocco italian tradition....
I finished with a a polyurethane gloss layer.
Many thanks to Marco (www.movguitars.com) who suggested and helped me for finishing the pedal.
Ciao!
