Title: Some new minis

Mini Frank

Finally getting to the bottom of the secret stash of transistors. Another Fuzz Face for Matt, this time in small.

Baby Bender

Another little Bender on a Stomptown MkII board. This is Matt's also.

Splinter

A Rat built on Madbean's Runt. Cleggy didn't have a Rat, now he does.

Did you sand down the tops of your LEDs to get them flush to the enclosure? That's really slick.

On a bit of a pedal binge, Juan?

They're flat ended LEDs so no sanding necessary. Though they sit under the decal. They look like they're flush in the pics, but they're actually a little way underneath. The Bender one shows this best as it's set particularly deep so you can't even see it from that angle. The problem with getting them flush is that if you over tighten the stomp that they're connected to, it can push the decal up. In the case of the Bender the power jack on mine pushed against the board and pushed it a little, that's why I was extra cautious on this one.

Beautiful builds, all of them.

I snagged a bunch of flat top LEDs a while back.  I still haven't worked them into a build yet.

Ah, gotcha. I didn't stop to think that they were flat to begin with!
