Title: Neutrino (AKA Skyline)
Post by: Jamiroking on November 18, 2011, 03:56:00 AM
For my neutrino, I decided to build the Black version since from what I read, it was a little brighter and cutting than the burst version (ironically named if you ask me). For the switch, I added the ability to switch between symmetrical (4 diodes) or asymmetrical (3 diodes) which seemed like one of the big differences between the black and burst versions.

Like my Egodriver, I decided to get a little crazy with the rubber bands. First, I tried to paint a bit of a red/black gradient. Then I masked the bands with some rubber bands. I really wanted to get some thicker bands but the closes I could do was just use multiple rubber bands which let a little white paint through when I put on that layer. I figure if I ever make other versions of the neutrino, I can use another city and paint the stripes a different color.

This is my last one of the batch I was finishing so I guess I'll have to get back to work on my Q-Vibe

Dude all your finishes have been looking SICK!. They are looking awesome. Super clean builds too.
I have the Burst and am actually just now building another in the Black version. Hopefully I will get time to do a demo.

Thanks a lot! It's kind of sad that this was the last build I needed to finish. I've been living in a cloud of spray paint for the past week so I haven't even been able to play this thing more than a quick check to make sure the circuit worked. I'm gonna have to report back on a lot of these after I get some play time with them, probably make some demos too.

OK enough is enough. I'm getting very tired of telling you how great your pedals look......  ;)

Don't worry, no more builds for a while. Though I do have a Q-vibe waiting to be boxed and a piece of copper clad that I want to turn into a doombutter....
