Title: Moodring build: Adrift
Post by: LateCentury on November 01, 2016, 04:39:21 PM
This is pretty much the stock configuration of the Moodring pedal crammed into a pre-drilled, discounted 125B box from pedalpartsplus. I started this around February and am just now finishing it. This being my 3rd pedal build, but first one started, I'm pretty happy with it. I've learned a lot about the proper order of doing certain things to make my life easier.  :D  Its definitely a weird one. I'm not quite sure how the dry switch is supposed to sound when you switch 'off' the dry, but it seems very quiet. I'm going to have to get creative to find ways to use it.

Really beautiful! I've contemplated bottom mounted jacks but never tried them. How are you liking that configuration?

I made a color laser printout and transferred it to the enclosure with this technique using acrylic polyurethane: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lTh4JJyZtA

I use a variety of sizes and configurations of pedals on my board, so I have all kinds of varying length cables. I usually need to move things all around when I add a new pedal. It matches up well with pedals that have top mounted jacks!
