The Jester / Madbean Chunk Chunk

 This pedal is for a co workers son for christmas. The name of his band is Jester and his mom wanted me to build a metal pedal representing that, I think I pulled it off, and it's totally metal sounding for sure.

Hey Jimi, you pulled that one off big time...I love everything about this.  The build, graphics and sound demo... you did it all. That is one lucky guy that gets that for Xmas!!!
Good work

The LED eyes really complete the package.  That's perfect.

Thanks guys, as you know I'm a bassist so my some playing Skillz on guitar are a bit limited. This is how my band plays rockin in the free world, extremely heavy. I'm pleased with this pedal, it'sy go to build when someone asks for a metal pedal. I should have here's the heat shrink but I didn't, looks ok though I think.

Nice idea with the eyes, shame that some control labels are occluded by the knobs.

right, no matter how hard I try I seem to either make the text small enough so it's not but too small to read or obscured by knobs. This time the top 2 labels aren't obscured too badly this time.

Ehh.. Knob labels are overrated. Sort of. 

Anyway, bitchin' box. Your Jester is to Skelator what Loki is to Thor.

Nice. 

I always add a "hardware" layer to my graphics that shows the knobs and switches so they don't cover up the labels.  Then I print the graphic on paper and use it to mark the enclosure for drilling.  If all goes well, the knobs and switches end up where they're supposed to and the graphics are visible. 

It doesn't work as well when you build before you decide what knobs to use.

Evil LED eyes FTW!

And yes, I do the same thing: I create hardware layer (sometimes layers) to see exactly how it is going to lay out before I print or etch the graphics.
