holy shnikees! At first I thought 'No Way he fit that delay into that little thing', then I scrolled farther down... jaw hits the desk!

That.Is.Impressive!

That is a stellar build, top notch!

This is the comment of the year though. You sir win the all the internets

Those are like the orthopedic shoe of knobs and you even managed to make them look perfect.

Love the Goldtop! I don't think you can call yourself a bass player anymore though, you've surpassed the legal limit on guitar ownership 

That is an amazing looking pedal - I really dig it. Nice work!!

Holy crap!!

I had to pick my jaw up off my desk. When I saw the first pic I totally expected to see a rat's nest of wires and pcbs randomly thrown about inside the enclosure. Now that I think about it, you forgot to wire it up didn't you??

Fantastic job!!

I'm not talented enough to use that but still that is friggin' cool!

Thanks guys! I think mine is better looking too!!

Yes, I definitely can't claim anything with the circuit for sure, I'm standing on the shoulders of GIANTS around here. And in reality I took my aesthetics from another genius  Only thing I can claim is the idea of sticking a Strat input jack into a pedal enclosure. And since I'm never going into production I've got nothing to lose.

At least take me out to dinner first...

Recently I found out a co-worker is into DIY effects pedals so we have been sharing info back and forth. He sent me this today:
"So strangely enough. . .I just found myself on this site this morning, and they've got two pedals that look just like your Fatpants."

Anybody ever heard of them or know who they are? Looks like I've been KLON'ed so I need to remember "Imitation is the highest form of flattery"

Feel free to knock me off my high horse! Ok back to my hole....

I'll have to dig thru my stuff and see if I still have the instructions. I dont remember what mods I did but here is a pic of mine - obvious stuff like power filter caps, a couple orange drops, and the added trim pot for biasing... that was the hardest part

I got started by me grandmother telling me to look out for a special penny - the double die 1995 pennies. Was lots of fun hunting for one, going to the bank and trading cash for rolled coins to search through. Found tons of wheat cents, some war nickles, a handful of silver coins and even a buffalo nickle and a Mercury dime. There was a coin shop near where I worked at the time that I would frequent after paydays. (worthless side note: this was Tom Noey of the infamous Ohio Coingate scandal's coin shop) When my dad caught wind of what I was into he dug out his collection from his childhood and turned it over to me. I never knew he had one so it was pretty cool to dig through what he had. Now I have a family and a hundred other interest that all demand my funds so I'm pretty much done trying to finish my twentieth century type set that i was trying to collect, well at least until I'm old & retired...

NICE! I really like that color too!

Awesome little pedal.

That is really cool! I like the in & out jacks (and power) on the sides. I'm going to steal that when I build my bigger board.

Wow that is sharp... or should I say smooth?? 

You guys have been a bad influence. My que on Netflix is a mile long now.

I recently started Burn Notice and have been quite taken by it. Its sort of like a 007 meets Seinfeld; a comedic spy action thriller.
