Title: EÏGHT BAHL ... my Retrograde
Post by: Vallhagen on May 10, 2013, 09:21:21 PM
Hi all you great forumites.

I've been really passive as a forum member and DIY-er for some 6 months i think... I havent finnished anything since before xmas-12. So it feels really great to finally box up something again:)

This is a straightforward madbean-pcb build; my take on the Retrograde.

Cheers!

It's been a long time between drinks!

I like the yellow and green highlighting behind the decal :) I take it it's a deadly eight ball, not a magic one?

hehe, as you say it, 8 ball is a drink as well, right? i didnt think about that ;D ... but maybe the drink is killing as well??

And thanx. It's handpaint behind the decal. The picture (camera) is lying a bit about the colors.. the yellow is really more discrete/white/pale irl.

Cheers!

Yay, Bengt's back! Great work on this one; I like the hybrid paint + decal effect.

Thanx Jon! :)

I will, eventually, box up my Bear Hug too... and some boards are on its way here from Brian as well.

Cheerio!

I like how the splash of yellow behind the umlaut makes it look like a pair of eyes.

Thanx lincolnic. It's fun; i didnt really "see" the "eye on i-effect" until i looked at the pics:). Cool that you noticed.

Cheers

Nice, I like the 8/octave theme. Clever ;)

I like this a lot! Really cool look. Between the Wolfshirt and Jacob's Standard Fuzz, I've concluded octave fuzz is one of my top three or four favorite effects. I haven't tried this one yet though. Too many things waiting to be boxed!

Thank you and thank you:)

Bret: Yes i think this octave-fuzz is pretty cool. And, its also the first octavingthing that you can play chords/riffs (more than one string at a time), and it still works as chords/riffs, not just some weird ringing effect.

Cheers
