RAWK! The uproar, 95% Clone of Suhr Riot with a few switching options... 3W Clipping diodes select, 2W Mid focus and 2W Bass boost. Tasty oversized polypropylene and mica caps, waterclear red LED true bypass etc... Handpainted by my beloved, photos don't do it justice it is truly livid to behold, absolutely my favourite pedal now...
Took a while to choose the final cap values for C8-10 but after research and experiments, I've settled on what works for me. This pedal is so much fun! 8) 8) 8)
Whoa!! Nice paint job man! Looks great!! Record a demo or something, let's hear it! :D

Great paint job! ;) I was cruising the big box stores and auto shops this evening in order to see what kind of pain they stock - mostly Rust-Oleum and Krylon. The limited choices could do in a pinch, but I decided I did not like anything, and now I am thinking about painting my boxes by hand using acrylics.
I got a bunch of good stuff at autozone. they had some great metal flake clearcoat and a line of rustoleum auto touchup in cans. and a super tough clear for alumimum rims.
Thank guys... Those proper art paints are so much more vibrant in pigments that the spraycans I had been using... got one more pedal to build and my wife is definately painting that one too! ;D

I'd like to use acrylics, as soon as I can find a good paint source, and figure out the best way to make it stick to the aluminum. I've got some old Rust-Oleum paint I might use, just to use it up.
If I may ask, what type and brand of paint do you use?
My wife uses Atelier acrylic paints... but I sprayed it with an etch primer first

You are absolutely right about this Try "Montana" brand spray paint. It was developed specifically for arisol art...ahem graffitti and fine art. It is rather expensive but carries an incredibly high pigment load and is available in over a hundred colors. I have several graffiti friends in Japan that swear by it.
Thanks dudes... :D and I'll keep an eye out for that Montana spraypaint, cjkbug
demo sounds really good, do you remember what specific cap values you change?
Sure man... I started with Madbean's and Culturejam's suggestions both here and on FSB.
I ended up with:
CP=1uF (I have wired up the Presence mod)
C8=10n
C9=2n2
C10=10n
For the SDMB mod I used a 2n2 cap... subtle effect changing the mid focus more than the stock SDMB 10n.
Getting the caps right is huge to the sound of the pedal... (duh really?) YMMV... good luck :)
Just listened to the demo (which is awesome) and now I realized I missed your completed build! I'll have to experiment with the cap values on mine like your suggesting. It looks great and I'm super into the handpainted artwork. I noticed Montana cans mentioned and I'll add they are some of the finest spray cans available. I too have some graffitti friends and they would use this brand and "belton" when they could afford it (almost never). The cans are something like $6-$8 bucks but they sell colors that aren't available other ways. I have a few that were given to me and it makes the job soo easy. I'm horrible with a can but I still produce clean results using Montana cans with a proper tip for them. Here's an example: http://www.bombingscience.com/shop-tips.htm
Hey thanks man... those tips look cool, I never thought about getting decent tips to use. Makes sense as I usually get 3/4 through a can before the tip starts to cause problems :)

I know exactly what you mean. Some of these tips will work on regular cans but they make the pressure go beserk! I've seen my buddy do a basketball size single spray with a montana 3x can and NY super fat. But I personally like your artist a lot!! ;D Stoked to see more!
