I sold my set of baby builds for a song a couple weeks back to pay for some pending bills. While I don't usually build for others, the buyer wanted a few more to complete the set so I agreed. The clock of tone is based on this. http://revolutiondeux.blogspot.com/2008/02/clock-of-tone-50-modifed-cot50.html Layout is my own. Smoothie has the switchable vibe mod.

Your builds always have a very refined look to them. Looks awesome.
Those look great. Very clean and tidy. As with you previous baby builds, I dig the etched plates. Classy.
You've gotten these baby builds down to a science! Very clean builds, inside and out.
Man, these are great. I definitely felt for you when you announced that you had to sell the first four you made. Someone out there is a very lucky guitarist. :)
G'day Josh, i remember seeing your other babies for sale and thinking they were a work of art and how much it must have sucked to have to sell them to pay bills. Shame you had to sell them, lucky bugger who bought them. These are just as great. You should build for others some more, true pro quality.
The only reason that i didn't buy them is that i'm enjoying building my own too much.
You've inspired my next build by the way, COT sounded pretty damn good.
Take it easy, Matt.
Thanks.
I'm never terribly sentimental about things I build. Except for a few builds. It's harder for me to let go hard to come by items like delays. ;)
Josh
man, these are so great. :o
I love these. I wish i had a PCB of the modified COT50. The demo on that link sounds tasty.
How are you doing the badge label thingies? They look fantastic.
I assume your just etching a small plate? if thats the case where do you get the plate???
Every time I see your baby pedals, I get the itch to build a whole pedal board of babies!

I may actually do a run of PCB's with something similar to the COT. I think it could be a hair better with a few tweaks.
The small plates are etched on one big plate and then cut with a band saw. Watch out for fingers!!! It's a time consuming process and it took me 3 tries to get the etches right. The thin font was really hard not to over or under etch.
The plates come from onlinemetals.com

Pedal Parts Plus! ;)
Me likes. I'd say they are damn cute but I won't as that is not manly :)
Slick! I love your choice of colours and knobs... always so clean looking :o
Hey Josh can you explain the Vibes mod? If I am understanding it is switching two of the 10n caps with another value. I have been searching and found something about a 10:1 ratio.
Thanks man!
Nevermind. Just found this thread:

Hmm.. I find the opposite is true. These plates gave me fits for numerous reasons.
How come, i was seriously considering going that way?
It's just another process. I've gotten fairly good at it, but I still have moments of frustration from under etched and over etched plates. These plates were actually a batch of 4 on one sheet for the etch. They are time consuming. Masking, etching, cutting, sanding...
The main problem with these was the font was VERY thin, so it took me 3 tries to get it right.

Ok, i see now...........you acid etch them..., dunno if you saw my Weener (insert joke here), but i got some plates made at a trophy shop, they're engraved with a diamond bit router.....nice 3D effect and cost me 2$ per plate........
