Title: I built a Pedal for this one Button...
Post by: Marshall Arts on May 06, 2018, 06:31:04 PM
I found this button years ago on an old oven from - I guess - the 50s or so. It's made from shellac and I had to dremel it down... Smelly hell... Upcycled other parts as well, e.g. Caps I got from forum member timbo years ago... Tight fit, as the PCB is for a 125b, actually... Will finish it tomorrow... Oh, it's a phase 90, BTW.

That's freakin awesome. Looks like maybe you  need to reflow the solder on the stomp switch though.....

Now thats a cool knob haha! Cool that you built a pedal for it, and I like the enclosure color too

I also like that enclosure.  Very neat texture and color.  Looks kind of like a translucent red over a sparkly orange, but I don't actually know anything about powder coating (or paint), so I could be flat out wrong.   :P

I know... As I wrote, I'll fix it, yet... So many pedals, so little time :-(

Sorry!  Just trying to make a meme like one of those "YOU HAD .... ONE JOB" memes, without actually defacing your photo.

Translucent sparkling vintage orange. You were almost right :-)

Looks good.

I have a pile of vintage knobs screaming out for builds like this.  I guess I need to get going on that.
