About a month ago I was blown away when my grandma asked me to make her a klon. Finally the last parts came in the mail today. So I threw it together and snapped these pictures. I'll film a video of her playing it when I take it to her. It feels weird to spend so much time on a pedal I'm making for free. ;D

It was laser etched, but the contrast of the aluminum and the gold vein powdercoat made it impossible to read. I used a technique a gunsmith taught me. I warmed up the enclosure and rubbed a white crayon in the etch, then buffed the excess away.







I'm sorry sir, we only have the regular ohms

That is very, very cool, and the lettering turned out excellently :)

That looks fantastic.

I believe they sell wax fill sticks for the exact purpose you referred to.  I haven't purchased any yet, but I will one of these days.

Crazy attention to detail. Great work on this. I love the vein paint with the white labeling.

This turned out really nice! The lettering looks awesome with that powder coat finish. I would say the best part about the build is not only you have a granny that can play music but knows what a Klon is at that. A lot of guitarists I know aren't even hip to the Klon hype. I think you win with this one!

That's really cool! Do you do anything to protect the lettering afterwards?
