Title: Couple of flangers, Lowrider... hand painted...
Post by: varfalex on November 18, 2012, 07:00:50 AM
Hi there solder soldiers,

I would like to show you couple of my new builds... actually building a pedal is only 50% of the whole job. for example, M-117 flanger with "autumn" theme took me whole night to draw. Please check 'em out.

Enjoy!
Alexander

P.S. a third dirtbag is coming!

That M-117 is beautiful! Looks like Van Gogh.

Very nice! And very unique! I especially like the autumn one.

What kind of paint are you using? And are you clear coating over top?  I ask cause I'd like to have my son paint a pedal for me some time.

I can't stop looking at the third one. 
My eyes just want to absorb it.   Excellent art work.

thank you guys! I'm using acrylic colors in my pedals. But you need to use a primer first. I usually do couple thin coats of it and after that enclosure feels like a sandpaper. it's good for acrylic colours! when the paint job is done I let it dry and apply several thin coats of acrylic varnish. usually 4-5 layers. yeah, it takes couple days usually. that's it!

midwayfair, and I really like your mutron! great job!
hey, I just got a Mutron PCB from Brian and I was looking for a smaller inclosure for it.
I think hammond 1550C will do that pretty well.
