Title: Upper Decker build
Post by: elenore19 on March 16, 2022, 06:19:55 PM
Hey all- super pumped about this one. So brutal sounding, love it.
Got this up and running today after the amazing help from the tech forum here.
Artwork by my good friend -> www.jeffniesen.com
Eyes are main bypass lights, footswitch light is the boost section. Thinking about making it so the boost light can stay on when the main bypass is off just so I know what I'm getting into when I turn the pedal on. But that can wait for now. Just pumped to have this beast working.

I flipped the layout of the board to not intrude on the artwork as much.

Yeah hand painted! He's an amazing artist. I put probably 5 layers of clearcoat on it to protect it.
