Ok, well the first one is from Tayda and my fiancée did the building while I was the project overseer.
First up is Überkinder. It made from two boards from Tayda and based on the Zvex Super Hard On. There are two of the circuits and a master volume knob so techincally it is closer to the Zvex Super Duper 2 in 1 but this one goes beyond even that because there are independent inputs and outputs for each. Output one is normalised into Input 2 so when you only use the 2 jacks at the bottom (input 1 and output 2) it functions as a normal 2 in 1.

Finally a photo of the inspiration behind the name and the paint job:

Next is Barbe à papa. It is built from an Aion Flare board which is an 8 knob clone of the Zvex fuzz factory.

And again the inspiration for the name and paint job:

Next is Eiskompressor. It is built on an Aion Aurora board to Ross Compressor specs. I don't think it or the next one require a picture for the name and paint job inspiration.

Finally, here is Napoleon. It is an Aion Lumin board which is a "workalike" of the BBE Sonic Stomp with an added mid knob.

Really like those paint jobs!
for some strange reason, I really want some ice cream now. Great job on those enclosures. How do you like the lumin, I'm considering boxing it up with the Tiny Giant amp.
These look great!!
That's a fantastic and creative use of an ice cream theme !
Thanks everyone! And now some Ice Cream to celebrate their being done. Couldn't pick a better day as its like 30 Celsius here today.

That one was the last to be finished just yesterday so I've hardly spent any time with it yet. It does seem to add some clarity and sparkle but I haven't figured out yet if that is just due to boosting the treble. Anyway, it's a fun equalizer but I don't have anything very intelligent to say about it yet.
Such a cool idea. My fav is the Eiskompressor and Napoleon. They came out great.

Dude just noticed the dimples on the ice cream sandwich. That is awesome, Well played!
Ha, nice idea!
All great! Especially the ice cream sandwich😎
Fantastic builds! And I just noticed the cat cuddling the flare - cool! :)
These are 100% great. The ice cream sandwich might be my favorite!
I get the sense that you enjoy ice cream...I can't say for certain though.
Great motifs. That ice cream sandwich is great!

Wait, are you implying that there are people who
don't enjoy ice cream?

We live in a fallen world, my friend. Some have yet to see the light...

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
Thanks for all the nice comments guys!
I do enjoy ice cream but it wall all my fiancée's idea. She helped me build a few synth modules in the past and one day she said she'd like to build a pedal so I got all the parts for the Flare(that I didn't have already) and gave them to her on her birthday. I included knobs of every different colour (I don't know what I was thinking) and she said "I only want blue, purple and pink, like cotton candy ice cream"
I had so much fun watching her build it (and helping a little) and playing with it that I got some more for her to build and the ice cream theme was born. She came up with the ice cream sandwich idea too.
Eventually I got jealous and got a bunch of boards to build myself and I'll post them once they have paint jobs. No ice cream though.
These are absolutely fantastic!! I love those builds, thanks for posting them, and their stories.
Amazing paintjobs, and the compressor is terrific! :)
