I seem to be going thru some sort of mini-chicken head knob phase. I'll replace the top row as soon as my grey aluminum's get here. In the meantime no mini-chickens were harmed during the building of this pedal.
This thing is just sick. Another one of those "how the hell am I going to use THIS?" pedals but I've already spent a few hours having a blast with it on the bench so I guess I have my answer. The build was pretty simple but lots of offboard wiring to the switches. I made little attempt to keep it neat, I was more interested in keeping it short and direct to avoid any LFO ticking. In drilling out the enclosure I completely forgot there was a center post (this has 6 screws) so had to do some creative filing. Much needlessly foul language was involved. The transformers I used were Hammonds and while they're way too big to fit on the daughter-board the leads were long enough that I could mount them on the side walls with little issue.
The enclosure is painted in Rustoleum "Cement" which attempts to look like concrete but to me looks more like a matte metallic grey. I like it and shot the inside and outside of it, water-slide decals, and then matte clear. I need to tweak the trimmers yet, so that's likely going to eat another few hours of playing it.
