Did you check out the internal wiring there? Only other pace I've seen it was the build of the year winner this year. I dig the wooden faceplates. I wonder if that's a veneer or a solid piece.

that's some Leevibe inspired wiring for sure.

One day, I am going to attempt wiring like that .......one day.  ::)

Really like the look, the guy definitely has some skills. I've gotten to the point where I can't stand pedals with that many knobs and no labels, it would be impossible to actually use. For some reason I can remember what transistors, ics and diodes are in a pedal I've made but if there's more than the knobs I can't keep them straight.

It looks like veneer.  Both my brother and my father are amateur woodworkers and I think we're going to have to do a collaboration now :).

My guess is that is the work of Matt Reinhardt of MJR effects...

He makes some nice looking builds.  I think he's a member on BYOC.

It can be odd that way. Of course when you're remembering what's inside you're usually under no pressure whereas when you're actually using the damn thing, like on a stage, with bandmembers and the audience waiting and looking it does tend to make it harder to remember what knob does what.

Ha, just reread my post. Sorry I meant three knobs, my phones autocorrect is terrible.

All his stuff looks undeniably cool, but putting the veneer on the pcbs is a little over the top imo.

That's some seriously nice work! I want to try some wood veneer some time. That's so gorgeous.
