It's so big that you can't see that there's a 3rd transistor socket on it. It's a tonebender mkII project

You might want to put that pedal behind you instead of in front of you at gigs, people might miss the guitarplayer behind the huge capacitor! I would have loved to see your face when you opened up the box.....

I have to know what enclosure you're going to put that in. A cookie tin?

most cigar shops sell cigar boxes for super cheap.  i've picked up a few for under 3 bucks.

Ok! I thought I had to smoke all the cigars to get the box...

Alternative boxing is not an option, it can't fit a 1590BB actually  ;D

Well... you have to admit, it's funny if you're not Night-B  :D

25V is about the highest I'd go for pedal electrolytics. Looks like you got some intended for amps.

I know a guy who put an Uglyface into a lamp shade base, with the stomp on top where the lamp pillar came out originally, and the pots on angles along the side. Worked well.

If it were rated for 400v or 250v it would be normal, but for 50v I was surprised...

Most cigar stores give away cigar boxes once they are empty.
