Been playing with this one for the past few days. It's a clone of the original 2-knob Crimson Drive by Earthquaker Devices (layout can be found on my blog). Still playing with germanium transistors for Q2. For the enclosure I did a reverse etch of the Emperor's Imperial Guard. I've wanted to do Star Wars graphics on a pedal for a while, and the Crimson Drive made me think of those guards from ROTJ. Big shoutout and thanks to Cody for his help in my little foray into enclosure etching.

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

Very nice etch and all together great looking build! I dig the metal washer on the footswitch.

Great job! I love the minimal aspect and detail in the etch.

I agree with what everyone else says. The subtlety of that etch and that nice raw red coat of paint makes that imperial guard look like a boss. Well done :).
