Title: Gravity Wave build: "Medusa"
Post by: LateCentury on April 02, 2017, 05:03:33 PM
The only modifications I made were a capacitor change and a resistor change based on people's feedback in another thread. I haven't really played around with it a whole lot yet, but the depth seems to not really make much of an appearance until about 50%. Other than that, I'm pleased!

That's an amazing build. Those graphics are perfect. 

Is that a 1590b or a 125b.

Great looking build.
You must be a glutton for punishment with all that wiring. That is cra-zee!

Very cool.  Always love a Greek mythology themed pedal.  :)   Those graphics are very well done.

The graphics look great. Reminds me of an old two-color medicine bottle or something. Did you paint the sides after placing the graphics on the face?

I did actually paint the sides after doing the face. I painted the whole enclosure white first, layed the graphics down, poly'd over it. Then I messed up the sides pretty bad from dripping polyurethane so I sanded them down, masked the top and sprayed over with red. Then poly'd the whole thing again.

I think the name is a clue to all the off-board!! I love this build. The circular control layout is killer. Nice all the way around.
