Title: May the 4th Be With You! - Imperial Guard Overdrive (aka EQD Crimson Drive)
Post by: storyboardist on May 04, 2016, 04:10:07 PM
Been playing with this one for the past few days. It's a clone of the original 2-knob Crimson Drive by Earthquaker Devices (layout can be found on my blog). Still playing with germanium transistors for Q2. For the enclosure I did a reverse etch of the Emperor's Imperial Guard. I've wanted to do Star Wars graphics on a pedal for a while, and the Crimson Drive made me think of those guards from ROTJ. Big shoutout and thanks to Cody for his help in my little foray into enclosure etching.

I agree with what everyone else says. The subtlety of that etch and that nice raw red coat of paint makes that imperial guard look like a boss. Well done :).
