Stone Grey Dist and a couple of choruses

Hi Folks,
We've been on kind of a Brian May excursion around the house so I tried out a Glam on vero (large knobs), which I liked a lot except for the slight slapback delay from the 2399. And that led to the Porkbarrel (small knobs) which was a pretty tight fit and nearly a disaster when I drilled for a full sized 9v jack (fixed with a couple washers).




I'm not sure what happened with the clearcoat on the Stone Grey Distortion, it's gloss on every other pedal except for this one. I used some Micro Sol on the decal hoping to get fewer air bubbles around the drill holes so maybe that did something to the clearcoat, or I just didn't shake the can enough. I was getting oscillation in the upper range of the distortion so I added a small buffer which took care of it. I'm not really a high-gain guy but this one it pretty nice.  And, pink LEDs are trending!

Nice! I dig that little fire guy. I actually like the matte finish on the stone grey.

thanks Matthew! The Calcifer design is from someone's tattoo work that came up on Pinterest. I re-created it as near as I could with vector shapes in Photoshop. I was actually planning on using some steel wool to matte the finish on the Stone Grey anyway so I guess it saved me the trouble. Still not sure why it did that tho.

Couldn't remember his name. I really enjoy Howl's moving Castle, it's a good movie. Last time I watched it I realized there was a lot of Wizard of Oz parallels there.

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

You're a madman with the vero.  I like the white matte finish, it makes the decal pop.  And very much diggin the pink LEDs.
