Hey guys,
I finished this a while back, and just managed to get the Demo Video done. I built two of these, one for a customer and one for me (for now). Here's some pics of mine:

And the Guts.

For some more info, it's a Ross Compressor going into a Fatpants (Echo Plex Preamp). It's a Compressor, and an Echo Plex preamp. It's a Comp, and a Plex. It's a Complex.
Obviously, I did the gain knob mod. Actually, it's not obvious, but this board is from the original Fatpants project that featured only a level knob. Took some debugging and help (from the might Bean), but I made it work.

i liked it jkokura... you build some cool stuff. what do you use to label your pedals? looks and sounds cool
Very cool! I had actually considered doing the same thing. I built a Fat Pants and a Ross Compressor and the combination of those with a Strat into a clean tube amp is very nice.
Thanks guys!
The graphics are done through a local sign making shop. They print using foil on Clear Vinyl Decal stock, cutting them out with a laser cutter. I mount them on the enclosures that are pre powder coated and machined, then clear coat the whole thing. They can print in any colour of foil available, but I just get them to use white and black. The reason I did it in the first place was to get white graphics without the mess of doing full face printed decals, and I don't even have a printer to begin with.

awesome thanks... and sorry i spelt your name wrong :-[
Nice work. I like the name!
Josh
great idea! and nice MAC-made demo! ;)
Nice combination. I have both separately and am going to immediately plug them in and play. Thanks for posting the demo!!
Added pictures!
that is a great idea. I built a rebote 2.5 a while back and added the fatpants circuit in there as a boost as well. I like it but I had to scrap it for parts and took the delay circuit out so it's sitting in my shop in pieces.
:'(
I really like this idea though, keep up the great work!

If you don't mind me asking, how much do they charge for that?
I don't mind saying, I've said it elsewhere.
The shop has a flat fee of 30 bucks to even start work. I usually get them to print out a sheet of several pedal graphics and some of my logos so I can use them as stickers. The printing price is as little as 30 plus tax, but I've paid 35 plus tax for larger printing orders. Usually I get 8 or so pedal graphics done, so it's about 4 bucks a pedal.
