Hey guys, here is what I've finished up lately.

First off the Behemoth bass drive. This is Jeremy's board from the group buy a while back. I believe its a clone of the DAM ezekiel. Sounds great on bass and guitar but I wish it had a little more gain, so I'm probably going to try a few different IC's and swap a few diodes. Huge range of sounds.

I was hoping that it would look like Calvin was stomping on the switch.






Next up is a Green Bean I built for my brother. Built it to Bean's specs. Socketed the symmetrical diodes. There are 3mm clear red leds in there right now but I think I'm going to try something else. Is there a big difference between how clear and regular led's will sound?

My brother has been collecting comics since before I was born. One of his favorite characters is Green Latern, so I thought "what better for the artwork!" I'm pleased with the look of this one. Originally I wanted to take the artwork straight out of an old comic, but I couldn't find anything that fit right. So I tried to make the print look like an old newsprint comic. Turned out pretty well. The thing I'm most happy with is getting the LED lined up just right. I probably think it's a little cooler than it really is but the LED is my favorite part here.

I really dig the Calvin and Hobbs graphics. Great Idea and well executed

Thanks guys. Calvin and Hobbes is definitely more my thing. It's such a great strip. The Green lantern screamer had me thinking comics for pedal art but comic books weren't ever my thing much. I read some old 60's and 70's stuff when I was a kid but other than Neil Gaiman stuff I haven't read comic in twenty years.

Hell yeah! Nicely executed. Great job.

Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.
