Title: Britsih Blues Overdrive
Post by: jimilee on December 23, 2012, 06:44:19 PM
This is a BYOC pedal,the British Blues Overdrive. I'm really digging it. You can't tell it,but the LED is actually under the waterslide,my attempt at a hidden LED. The inside is a lot cleaner, feel pretty good about this one.

That looks slick man! Is it a Marshall Blues Breaker Clone? I'm feeling some of those hidden LEDs in my near future ;)

Yep sure is, sounds great. I gotta try a fabric finish with a hidden led next.

What a great idea! I really need to try the fabric thing myself. Great looking pedal man! I love the classic British design...

Shit me that is cool! I'd never get I to look like that though, it would be no where near that neat!

Yeah it looks pretty difficult! It would also be cool to use tolex instead of fabric (the stuff they apholster amps with)

I have some Mesa style tolex, and one of my guitar students mums owns an arts an crafts shop, might see if she'll cover one for me!

Great pedal!  The union jack has a superb design aesthetic, always been a fan of that flag
