Title: My Little Monster (Grapevine Build)
Post by: FuzzMonkey on June 01, 2011, 06:44:29 AM
Greetings All,

I'd thought I share with you my Grapevine build or as I call it, Little Monster (Little in size but with a Monster sound). I decided to make it look like a miniature amp head, since its a foundation pedal (as the team at Catalinbread says) for my sounds I basically stays on all the time and works well with other pedals.

Any feedback, comments and questions are welcome. Thanks Brian for the layout! Sounds great!

Enjoy!

The Marshall look is a great idea you mastered!

I love it! And yeah, mine stays on almost all the time. Where'd you get the LED holder?

WOW. This thing is awesome, so cool. Really good job on the decals (it is decals right?) In my opinion one of the coolest builds I've seen.

Very creative!  Nice work.

How are you utilizing this setup.  It seems as though it would be a little challenging putting it on a board.

Whoa dude! Amazing! I'm actually building a Boneyard for a friend and we're gonna be doing a Marshall Plexi head theme for it as well!

I'm very curious, what did you use for decals on this? (If you don't mind me asking of course)

Looks incredible! And I bet it sounds phenomenal too ;)

Yes, they are decals. I used a white background decal on this one.

It actually sits on my desk or on top of the amp at the end of the signal chain before going into the amp. All the other pedals are on the floor as per usual.

These are the decals I used: http://www.craftycomputerpaper.co.uk/productdetail.aspx?productcode=159 (http://www.craftycomputerpaper.co.uk/productdetail.aspx?productcode=159)

I got them off eBay rather than the site in the link.
