that's a badass finish, mechanically etched somehow?

Maybe a "metal" sticker? I've seen stuff like that at the auto parts store.

Polished case with a engine turned vinyl decal. Cleared over with non yellowing clear coat.

Great demo!  So many Dr Boogey demos on YouTube sound like ass, but yours really nails it.

Apologies if you've already addressed this in another thread, but you seem to have added a Bright switch since the original photos.  Would you mind explaining what you've done there?  Thanks!

Thanks man. 8)
It's c15 on a dpdt with a .0082uf (bright) on one end....and
a .047 uf on the other.
For whatever reason...my pedal was very tinny with the stock 6.8n on c15.
This mod totally opened it up .
Going to work on the bass next (it's pretty much maxed out all the time).

Thanks! Mine is too tinny and lacks bass with single coils, so I'm going to have to check that out.

Is this with the J201's?

Sounds/looks great man  :)

Thanks.
5457 in q3 and q5.
It was the only way I could get her to tame down.
With all j201's it was like a 5150 with a sho boost in front of it....but it was too noisy (lot's of idle crack and hiss).
With a TIGHT gate it would make a cool death metal pedal that way...but was unstable
for my needs.

Still lots of gain on tap though. :)

I plan on building a full 5457 version with needed bass mods to bring back the low end when using all 5457's. I tried it and think it would make an excellent "rock" pedal with those "tubes  ;)" in it.
