My build of the VFE Tractor Beam also my first pedal build

[cpk313]

Works! Ha, was a little nervous hitting the button the first time. Put more time into it then I care to admit. Only issue I'm having with it is that I can hear a very low level phasing going on when the pedal is on but not playing, perhaps the level is up a little too much.

That looks great!  I like those different color aluminum knobs.  Where did you get them?

Great job! These VFE builds are no joke. I don't know if I would have tackled one as my first pedal.

Not a chance I'd have tackled this as a first build. Very nice work and a great looking build.

Thanks! Got them from small bear.

Awesome and quite a pedal to built at any stage, especially as a first! You must be stoked and addicted now...
Great stuff!

And an etched enclosure with multiple colours?  Impressive!  Especially for a first build.

Nice and neat! Congrats on the build! Now the next challenge, build the Blueprint tap tempo.

Yeah I went a little nuts already, I ordered 6 different VFE pedals at once. This one plus a alpha dog, merman, mobius, triplet, and a pale horse. I ordered all the parts for the VFE's too . Plus I have a few Aion pcb's for a Boss DC-2, Klon, Zen Drive, & a King of Tone.

I know the first step is to admit I'm powerless over PCB's.....

Thanks, it seemed like a good solution at the time, I didn't realize how finicky transferring the  toner is, I did it a number of times before I got it somewhat acceptable. The color is alcohol dyes.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments! It gives me a new appreciation the work that goes into a pedal.
