Title: The Klone War
Post by: pickdropper on December 28, 2012, 04:50:33 AM
Not my normal style, but somebody asked me to build them a Klone pedal with Darth Vader on it.  I had a really hard time photographing this one as I kept getting reflections off of the envirotex.  In person, the picture is nice and rich and the epoxy looks pretty nice, IMHO.  The wiring was a bit odd because of the unusual pot layout.

The controls are:

Dark = Tone Control
Disturbance = Gain
Force = Level

I haven't seen a build of yours that I haven't been impressed by. This is no different. I like how the force is in Vader's hand  ;D

That is really slick. The force knob/placement is outstanding!

This is one of the coolest builds I've seen.... Clean on the inside, kick-ass on the outside! May the force be with you....
