Dude!! This looks nasty in the best way possible! Like a secret weapon left over from the cold war.

I built a screwdriver deluxe on vero and I must agree it's ridiculously versatile! So much so that I have a hard time figuring out exactly where to use it properly or to its best.

Definitely looks more like a weapon than a guitar pedal. Very cool. I have a vero Screwdriver Deluxe currently in progress.

Yeah like an abandoned military installation in the middle of the jungle somewhere ;)
Nice job :)

Hehe, thanks guys, really appreciated. ;D

I also dig that paintjob alot, it's heavily textured and brings something unique to the pedal.

So in the end it's a mistake that turned out nicely... ::)

Now it's time to try it with the amp fully cranked!

Very cool pedal! I like it a lot that you gave the outside this paintjob, and the inside looks super, super clean, nice contrast!

What size is that huge Fresnel lens? It's a beauty!

I've got my Cosmo board done and just need to get some pots and an enclosure. Can't wait!

Thanks Paul, well..........at first, the pedal was suppose to be green like the pcb...., but the paint kind a lifted really bad while baking.. So i used a scrapper and scrapped the surface of the enclosure and then put it back in the oven at 450F for 15 minutes and that's the result i got....

It's a 10mm lens, built your cosmo asap, simply an awesome fuzz ;)

Serious war pedal! Where'd you get the green etched pcb!!  :)
I see you like ribbon cable also. Yours looks much sturdier than the stuff I'm using, where did you source yours?
