Stock Sharkfin with a waterslide decal and Envirotex. Nice sounding pedal, I just need to figure out what I would use it for. :)

Edit: Envirotex is so hard to photograph. It is so shiny it reflects everything. These photos look like the right side of the decal is missing but that is just the reflection of the light.

*Laughs* I love that, "I just need to figure out what I would use it for".

Very tidy, especially with all the wires going to the toggle switch :)

Great graphic, and the blue knobs are perfect!  (you forgot to clip an LED lead, though  ;) )

Good eye. I'll take care of that right now.

That looks great!  Yeah, figuring out what I would use some of these pedals for is what keeps me from building some.   ???

Very nice work, the colors are so vivid!

I rarely play anywhere but my music room, so figuring out what to use a pedal for never enters into the equation.

Thanks guys. To be honest those colors are really close to the actual pedal but they are bit hyped. When I took the shots the blacks washed out and turned grey. I had to color correct it to get the black back and that intensified all the colors a bit. I had a choice of photos that were washed out and not close to the real pedal or these that are much closer but a bit more vibrant.

Here's what I used mine for in case you missed it. Not trying to blow my own trumpet or smt just trying to display the possibilities of this great pedal

I use mine on every rehearsal, some great sounds to be had, also some absolutely over the top screams, and sample and hold madness which I found not to be useful at all in rehearsals expect for song endings when you engage the S&H through some modulation and verb and everybody is like duuuude that was aaaaawesome.

I'm glad you linked this. Your demo is one of my all time favorites and is what inspired me to build this. I had planned on listening again to get some ideas on how to use it.

I've said this before, but I've always been a TubeScreamer for rhythm into an SD-1 for lead kind of guy. Now I have choruses, delays, compressors, phasers and flangers, auto-wahs and octave down and am in a huge but fun learning curve.

Does anybody have any link to recorded music where somebody has actually used this pedal.

Forgot to say. It really helps to paint the top of the box white to help pop the colors out with the waterslide. Then photograph it against a black velvet background for contrast helps too. :)
