The Cascadia is particularly handsome. The graphic looks like it could have come off a vote of small-batch whiskey.

This is clean for vero. Love the bolts as mounts.

They look lovely. Makes me more excited to build up my copy...though it won't be as pretty.

As for being afraid you will end up constantly tweaking all the time, is that any different then constantly building new pedals all the time? I built like 4 to 6 pedals a month on average. I've lost count in how many dirtboxes I've built, but the number of Big Muffs alone numbers in the dozens. Considering what I read here all the time I don't think I was the only one building a lot.

With pedal building and guitars, I'll obsess over something until I settle on the mods/pickups/values or whatever, and then I build it and I'm done. It's a workflow thing. With modeling, there is little friction in editing and nearly endless parameters to edit. With a pedal, once it's built, it's built, and I rarely have more than three knobs to consider. It's the same reason my amp has one tone knob, I use only a Pedal Train Jr., and my guitar only has two pickups; the more choices I have onstage, the more time I'll spend tweaking onstage and the more I invite disaster.

I guess what I'm saying is I, personally, don't have enough self control to just use presets onstage, or to be content with presets for any length of time. I think Kemper, et al. is a great solution for someone who is more disciplined. Working in the analog realm makes the "cost" of tweaking for me just high enough that I will pause and consider before cracking open an enclosure or rewiring my whole pedal board.

I like the ergonomics of the jack and switch layout. The etches are just ridiculous.

I haven't gone digital, but I have gone amp-less. I use an analog pre-amp and cab simulator. Everything fits on a Pedal Train Jr. This has the benefits of a quiet stage, but prevents me from the endless tweaking and knob fiddling I would do with something like a Kemper. To be clear, I think a Kemper (or similar) is an excellent solution for some people. I also know myself well enough to know that I would tweak obsessively and never actually make any music if I used one.

Love the Ping!

More proof vero CAN be done neatly. I love the 'I built it cuz I could' mindset...I imagine that drives a good bit of builds amongst our bunch.

I've definitely done some builds because I had a clever name or theme for it. Do I need a sixth fuzz? No—but I do need a Tônmängler!

P.S. Very clean for vero. What size enclosure did you use?

Love the bare metal peaking through the graphic! Did you mask off the enclosure and then paint, or paint the sides and use a decal on top?

I hope to someday be as weak on my graphic design skills as you are...

Welcome! This one of the most friendly and helpful forums I've ever found. I hope you'll feel the same way when, inevitably, a project doesn't fire up at first (everyone has that project at some point).

Looks really nice. The guts are surprisingly tidy for a multi build. I like the graphics.

Generally, I hope for within two days. I can stand three if it's the only place I can find something. If it's built-to-order, that's a horse of a different color; in that situation, I'd want an approximate build time before ordering.

Great results. That accidental etch should maybe become an on-purpose etch.

I did something similar but with 3PDT switches...that made for an expensive order.
