Grind Customs Metal Trilogy:

Enclosures are burgundy 125B from pedalpartsplus. Graphics laser etched directly into the powder coat. Envirotex makes it shiny. Font is Augustus from dafont.com. Knobs came from Paul at diyguitarpedals (http://www.diyguitarpedals.com.au/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=15&products_id=432 (http://www.diyguitarpedals.com.au/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=15&products_id=432)). Paul is great to deal with. Actually took knobs off his own builds to fill the order. I live in Kentucky and shipping from Australia was still fast and cheap, considering.

Madbean Mangler and Black Horse Effects Dual Fuzz

The Mangler has "the Continental" set of transistors from Small Bear. The Dual Fuzz is a Range Master treble booster clone and a FuzzFace. All transistors from Smallbear (OC75 for the TB and Continental for the FF. Can't remember where I got those fuzz knobs. Two things I learned: A properly biased Fuzz Face with good Germanium is a sublime experience. A treble booster (with a good tranny) is insanely great! Put it on a neck humbucker and get smoothness that cuts through like you wouldn't believe!

The trio are as clean and simple as it gets. Stellar work inside and out. I love the peppermint candy look of the fuzz. Color me impressed.

Wow the Metal trilogy is spectacular!

Why did you chose to put the led in the center on the Aeons? :p

Great job, so clean.

Followed drill template with my hole punch without thinking, then placed head in hand and slowly shook it from left to right a few times:)
