Here she is painted. I call her the GOLDEN SLAG. Which is also the nickname for my bands van which is painted a similar color.

I used TESTORS 1 coat lacquer in INCA GOLD. I used 3 coats baked in the toaster over 150 degrees for 30 minutes each coat. I was going to clear coat it but it looks good and I'm going to wait to figure out what to do for decals before I seal her up for good.

I also decided to switch to white knobs because it looked better than the black with this paint.

The sound is pretty good. I actually prefer it to my fulltone ocd. The only thing I don't like is the tone knob I only really like it cranked up or a little under cranked, other than that it sounds like a blanket. It is a really quiet pedal too compared to other dirt pedals I have. My rig is really noisy too (les paul with p-90's)

Velleman makes this kit of hook-up wire. I know alot of people prefer solid core, but stranded is better sometimes becuase it has less chance of breaking if you move it. I got this kit and I have made probably 15  pedals and I am not even close to half way through with the colors. They also give you MORE length on black and red because they are the most popular colors.

I just wanted to show a quick look at my grapevine before I paint it. I subbed a few parts values .033uF for .03uF. and it came out fine.

I was worried about the carbon comp resistors and stuff, but I just used what I had on hand and it sounds GREAT! not noisy at all.

I used a proskit enclosure becuase it's a little bigger than a 1590b and it gave me more breathing room to fit everything in.

I also got pretty crazy with my wire colors. I went with a rainbow theme across the top for the pots to keep everything organized. red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, white, grey, black.
