Judging by the picture title, it's a turtle. Or a tortoise as we say over this side of the pond. As to why it's got LEDS on it, that's anybody's guess.

These are clipping leds on top of a women's breast decal on a rat clone pedal.

This was one of those poly-resin yard statues. the old dremmel hacked away at it quite nicely. very carefully cut the shell off to do the build. Now the shell is held in place with velcro. The main reason i did this is because i hate to fork out the shipping expense on the cast aluminum and i really hate the radio shack boxes. The next time you place a order look at shipping before you add a box, then add the box.  :o my shipping jumped $6.00 for a $5.50 box ! Im starting to look at crap in the thrift stores / antique stores to see what I can do my next build in

Now I want a bunch of lawn ornament pedals.

I would like to be on stage kicking the shit out of flamingos and gnomes, twisting the eyeballs Santa Clause, and stomping on fake rocks to get my sounds.

Then you can sit out on your lawn and you only look goofy because of the guitar!

Guts?

Yeah, shipping on enclosures is a pain.  If you're not hung up on finished enclosures, buy the bare ones from Tayda when they have the 15% off sales (like they do right now); generally the discount more than covers the shipping costs, so essentially you get it for free.
