This was the 2nd pedal populated and boxed. It sounds great! I used the Cool Audio chips in this. It is a really clean chorus. Just what I was looking for. I tried to pay homage to the original with the color, knobs,font, and led color. The led pulses with the speed knob. I couldn't find the original font so I used the font from The Terminator. Looking back the wiring could have been cleaner, but it works.

Very nice!! The lettering almost seems to float on the box, great finish!

That looks great. Agree that lettering looks like it is floating.

Yeah, this really captures the right kind of look! I did mine with the Cool Audio chips and I like the sound a lot. I think DutchMF did too.

Cheers,

Thanks Guys! The lettering effect was a Drop Shadow function in Illustrator. I first saw it in an Egodriver build and thought wow that is awesome! I wonder how he did that? And after many hours of experimentation developed what you see here.

This is where I first saw it and still impresses me as a very classy build.

Yeah, I did build my Porker with an MN3207 and a Cool Audio V3102, sounds amazing! I'll probably be building another one soon, with the Depth mod (as mentioned in the doc) on a switch, as I like it a lot, but it's not subtle! Still, this looks way better than my plain blue one. I thought the 'floating text' effect was some really complex Envirotex trickery!

Love the Terminator reference, as well as the shadowed text.  I think you nailed the 3D floating look on it.  I just finished my Pork Barrel and I freakin' love it.  Great build!
