The Buzz Fuzz

[pryde]

Here is a 1776 effects BuzzSaw that was built for my good friend who owns a local bike shop in my area. I am a long time cyclist (mountain and road biking) and his shop has been my go-to for nearly 20 years of cycling.

Really its a "fully functional" promotional piece and tribute to the bike shop as my friend is not a musician (however is a huge music lover). I made a small display to also promote my wares to some of his customers who might be interested so its a win-win for all. He loves it even though he has no idea how to operate it

bee-utiful.

That is really sharp looking! Hope it draws some work your way for you!

Wow Pryde! Great looking build.

[Cortexturizer]

now that's a real looker!
great work sir!

Nice gift for your friend, great looking pedal, love the little cogs around the knobs, great advertising for you, a winner all round IMO, all the best, Matt.

Those are some sick graphics! That is not only a great way to promote the shop and your biz; it is going to be a great conversation piece for sure! I may have to do the same for my friends music shop!

It seems like I'm always asking you how you did that. So here goes, is that a waterslide and envirotex ( envirotec?) I've really got to try that.

Thanks everyone. I think it is for sure a cool way to promote some business and a cool conversation piece for curious onlookers. Its a bit of a bummer that such a great circuit (Thanks Josh!) won't be used musically but I still have my own buzzsaw so all is good.

@billstein
It is just a inkjet waterslide decal and some clear-gloss enamel to top it off, no envirotex. After building so many pedals, I got the waterslide/clear-coat down fairly well; however, I do want to try envirotex as it does look great.

Wow!  I love the sprockets under the knobs and against the honey comb pattern.

+1 on Jon's "bee-eautiful".  Your stuff looks like how I envision my stuff.  It just inspires me to make awesome looking pedals.  Nice job.

Very cool!  I'm a mountain biker when my allergies aren't killing me.  How geeky is it that I think I recognize the tread pattern of the knobby tracks in the graphic?  (WTB Weirwolf?)

Ha I think you're right. I had some of those at some point but run maxxis crossmarks now. I need all the help I can get with lightweight components these days

Looks like that should create quite the buzz.
