Need to see guts or it's a rehoused Behringer.  ;D

That's a gorgeous build. How did you do the graphic?

😂😂😂😂😂😂

There's not much to it but I'll have a peek inside next week. Owing to the meters design there is an "upper and lower floor". I'll warn you now though, once it works I tend to jam the lid on these "maf'ks" and make them look pretty on the outside.

I found a font online and popped it into MS Paint. Had to install a couple of plug ins.

After printing plain paper tests I printed the graphics in colour onto water slide transfer paper, sealed them and applied them like a model kit.

you really don't even have to play it. just having it around it's cool enough to be a conversation piece

This is both inspired and inspiring. I love steampunk, diesel punk, atom punk stuff. This is my new favorite pedal. Great job!

Tom Lauten

Thanks Dan and Lee, very much appreciated!

Thanks guys...stop tempting me to turn out a kit! 😬

Nice. Great vision.

Did you distress the aluminum plates and hardware so as to match the apparent age of the meter and especially the terminal / knobs?

oip

oh wow this is freakin amazing!  great job

Tom Lauten

I did a bit of aging on the aluminium and the other hardware, as you say, to try and pull everything together in terms of "patina"

Haha that's so awesome!! Amazing work! But I too want a gutshot!! :)
