Title: VIPfx - Tweedy Bird
Post by: Chi_Boy on November 15, 2013, 07:44:13 PM
So it's time to start posting some pictures.  This one has a somewhat high parts count, and matching the transistors is always fun, but the sound is really nice and worth the effort.  Once it's done, of course.

What an absolutely slick pedal, inside and out!
The gold labeling is a great match for the enclosure color. Is it a decal ?

No, it's Pulsar Pro.  The color is actually a happy accident.  It was white, but became "aged" when I powder coated it.  The finish was smooth and pretty, so I left it.  Gotta say I'm pleased with it.  Sound AND finish.

Maybe, but only if I try to sell it!  (which I won't!)

Not sure what's prettier, the enclosure finishing/look or the layout  ;)
