Dude that is the SICKEST build!!
Seriously, you've upped the bar to crazy levels!!

Do you mind if I ask how you did the paint job?
And then was the writing laser engraved?

I am still in awe..  ;D

What circuits are in there?  I see the Chimera board on the end, but what are the others?

Yeah, I can see the "Game of Tones" on the PCB on the left. The middle one looks like a layout for an OCD-a-like

Thanks for kind words guys :)

The 3 circuits are Chimaera (klone), OCD V2 and a Game of Tones with a trimpot in place of the «High» control.

I also used 2 «flipper» switch so the effect order can be changed with some simple switching.

1 switch let you put the OCD before or after the GOT, second switch let you place the Klone before or after the the OCD/GOT group.

There's also a 9v Vreg on the DC Jack, so the pedal can be run on 9 or 18 volt, without the matter of blowing the klone charge pump.

No problem letting you know how simple it is to make those paintjob, i first applied a black primer to the enclosure, baked it for 15minutes at 300F, when it was at a temperature that i could barely touch it, i applied one single super thick coat of black hammered finish, and put it back in the over for 15 minutes at 250F.

That's it! ;)

So is the text laser etched?
or did you etch it somehow?

You have definately some sense for enclosures and overall design. Impressive.

Thanks again for the comments :)

I'm close to 200 pedals built this year........i lost the count at 127 if i remember well........2-3 months ago.....
So well......., my sense of «ergonomy» with the enclosure have made his way.......I've got my book of templates for most enclosure size with pretty much all the drilling configuration that you could imagine.

Maybe one day i'll go digital (quit my sheets of papers) and put a whole document together, i just don't have the time to do it.........
