Title: LOWRIDER!!! NSFW...maybe??? Now with new knobs...huh huh huh Now with Audio
Post by: jimilee on August 13, 2013, 05:27:49 PM
 So here is my completed lowrider, sounds great so far on bass. No mods built completely to specs. For some reason my bass amp at home is having issues, so I'll have to sort that out before I can make a demo. but shoudn't be too long. I may just record direct and bypass the amp, in the meantime, ENJOY!!!

Tracks good on upper octaves little wonky on lower octaves

Nice pedal Jimi!! the guts look nice and clean and a Bty to boot :)

That is one long legged woman on that enclosure...or  the reduction of the image has given that effect, either way I think its great :P

You seem to have got the decal thing way in control now, I am really impressed with all your efforts.

Well Done

Mike

Wow, thank you. The enviro turned out fantastic this time too. I think I may be ready to try etching.

Beautiful.

I like this pedal, and normally I don't like tarted-up, tramped out pedals. (Oh, who am I kidding, I always like tarted up, tramped out pedals.  ;D )

It took me a few seconds to notice that the car is riding a little high though, no?

I second this!! Only thing I've got to complain is that the knobs are covering the model too much!  ;) Any idea who she is? Maybe Juan will know....

Great graphic.  I agree that the Marshall style knobs cover up too much of the model.
