Not necessarily a demo but me just tinkering as soon as I got them boxed up. For the graphics I hand painted the pedals. I then scanned them on my flatbed scanner and turned it into vector art in Inkscape. Then I added the labels and sent it off to Tayda. I really like the day it came out.

So cool to watch the process.  I wish I could draw.

I didn't know I could draw until I started making pedals last March. I mainly just copy something I see. Someone on reddit told me to just draw it. You should do the same. It will get better with time, or you can just call it your style of art. There will be someone that loves it.

I hope this works. I made this pedal for my nieces 13th birthday. One of only 2 pedals I have built that I have let go of. It was a fun and frustrating build. I don't think I like the 1590A with the fat little fingers that I have. I still have on more that I have not yet gotten into the enclosure. And she turned 14 last month. I hope you enjoy.

BTW: I have no idea how to not play metal. But I try. There is also a build report on my site here. https://www.pachydermpedals.com/pedals/051/

I didn't have enough knobs to do all one color but I agree they should be the same on both pedals. Thank you for the kind words. I have really been enjoying building.

Here are my Gas Tank and Junk Trunk. These are a ton of fun to play together. I really like the option of having the envelope trigger from the clean sound. I have no one home tomorrow and am going to give them a real spin.

I still have to decide which knobs to use and I would like opinions on the idea of doing essentially prints of hand painted pedals. I have the mockups here as well.

When I ordered a pedal from the last batch that VFE was offering I was able to order the pots and programmed ICs as well. You can always send an email and ask. I am just waiting to order a board now before I build mine.

Hello,   I am about to build a few of the vfe projects from the madbean site. The build docs for for a 1mH inductor but when I want to the cart on Mouser it is a 1K 5% inductor. Is this the same thing? Is the cart correct. I want to be sure before I put it on the board. I've looked at the datasheet and am still thoroughly confused.
