I found the tin in Italy, and brought it home thinking it would make a nice pedal.  Hope you like it.

Cheers,

That's awesome, hows it hold up when you step on it?

That enclosure rocks! Very cool, especially the Led's in the Vespa logo. I think we should do more stuff like that, instead of always using the same square Hammond boxes. I'm on a mission now: source myself some non-standard enclosures!

I like that. Non standard enclosure for the win!

Thanks very much guys,

I am quite proud of it, and it is surprisingly easy.  A lot more room to fit everything in.

@jonrhee - It's pretty stable, it's not on my pedalboard atm, but stepping on it is fine.  I've found that the output and imput jacks need to be really tightly bolted onto the enclosure or its a bit iffy when you are pulling the leads in and out all the time.  Nothing a bit of care doesnt prevent (or just leaving it in the chair all the time)

Cheers,
