Title: Irmcdermott's Starflyer
Post by: selfdestroyer on August 08, 2014, 09:40:49 PM
This is my second build of the Shoegazer clone. My last one had a few mods that I never seemed to use like Chaos mode on each circuit but a buddy of mine really wanted the pedal. I was happy to trade it off so I can build me another one. I ended up building this one stock and kept it as clean as possible.

The art work was a album cover from these guys

I'm not a huge death metal fan but I loved the artwork.

Etched the PCB and did a reverse etch on the enclosure. I was really going for a grimy look and I feel like I achieved it.

I really need to remember not to drill holes on the PCB that I am not going to use. lol

Now back to my reverb soaked wall of sound!

There's something about that big pcb that still has some unused space, reminds me of old 70's EHX pedals, and that's a great look. Really dig the red color too. I need to learn how to etch enclosures...

Sweet etch, though this doesn't seem to be new for you, they all look so good!

Love the red pcb too
