Gudday all.  Here's Leviathan.  In a nutshell:

Boost - Brian May Treble Booster OR SHO, Or Treble Booster cascaded into SHO.  Both Tayda pcbs.  The LED changes colour according to the selection.

Mid Gain - Tayda Englishgent pcb, OR Marshallarts' 1590a Zendrive pcb.  The LED changed according to the drive selected.

Plexi - Wampler Plexidrive on vero.

Worked first go, except for the Plexi that I had hooked the in/outs up to the wrong lugs on the footswitch.

Looks excellent I love the graphic.  What size enclosure is that? Also how do the different LED colours for each selection work?

Willybomb

It's a DD.

For the boosts, the LED colour selection works off one set of the poles/throws on the rotary switch.  There's a common anode RGB LED in the bezel.  The ground off the rotary goes to the footswitch as usual.

For the mid gainers, there's another RGB LED with the blue clipped off (my straight RG LEDs didn't seem to work so well).  The footswitch goes to a 3pdt toggle that selects which drive and also switches to whatever colour.  Ground from that toggle goes to the footswitch.

Whoa! That looks great. I really like the concept, too. Well thought out project.

Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

Nice! How's the treble booster into the Plexi? Love mine into a FuzzFace, but haven't tried it with other drive pedals.

Holy bananas - that's a definite grab-n-go dirt box - nice work!

Massively epic. I bet it sounds like a monster.

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

This has all of the things!  Nice work.

Every now and then, there's a build I find myself looking at repeatedly.  This is one of them.  A real pleasure to behold.

Who's in the background, there? Looks like a Transformers Combiner team.

Close.  It's the Jaegers from Pacific Rim (Gypsy Danger, Cherno Alpha, Eureka Striker, ???, Crimson Typhoon).  I don't like artwork getting covered by knobs so that was the best option imo.

I think I like the treble booster into pretty much anything more than the SHO.  It's pretty nice into the Plexi (and the Zendrive).
