Very nice.  The graphics are a lot of fun.

I would be remiss if I didn't ask for a gutshot, however.

This is a DIY forum, this "photoshop goop" makes no sense at all! But nice pedals, anyway

But we might steal his two-op amp OD!  ::)

It's not like he's selling them or even putting a company name in his Sig, so there's no harm. I just don't understand the point of posting an enclosure and no guts and not even telling people what the circuit is. Plenty of other stuff around here to direct our attention to.

This.  Not sure what the point is of posting it on a DIY forum.

And that's why I don't post here a lot, I aways forget to take gutshots of my builds, and I'm too lazy to open them up, pick my camera and find a good light for the pictures, haha. Oh, and because they don't look fuckin' awesome as some of the builds shown here

Wow, you guys are being a bit harsh imho, I've never seen this side of you guys before. I was just kidding like we always do. Am I missing something?

No dude, relax! I mean, usually, in DIY forums, the point is exactly to share your work and knowledge, that's why is a little strange to post a blurry gutshot. It's not like someone here is keen to steal someone's else work. I just think is strange that Highway31 posted an edited gutshot

I would hope that you wouldn't hold back for any of the reasons you listed.  One of the benefits of this forum is sharing your hard work.  I've seen some amazing things here, and not always from people who consider themselves polished builders.  We'd love to see what you're working on.

Jimi, it had nothing to do with your post.  You were just following the standard Behringer tagline.  :-)

To me, the oddity is the photoshop obscuring of the gutshot.  It's by no means a crime not to want to share your work on a DIY forum.  I can think of plenty of reasons one wouldn't want to do it.  It just seems a bit strange to do that on a DIY forum built around the sharing of ideas.  Maybe the OP has other, cool pedals they are more comfortable posting without the need to obscure them.

Yeah, it's possible that I am coming off stronger in tone than I feel.  I am curious, not upset.
