I built a pedal!!

[upthepunxxx]

Hi dudes,

So a couple weeks ago when I introduced myself a couple people asked to see some pics of some builds. Here are a couple pictures of a SHO I just finished. I really like these things. From the guts shot you will be able to understand my concern in regards to the neatness of my own wiring and the envy of all you homeboys with beautifully wired pedals. However, I think it is getting a bit better each time. And every time I see one of your guys' bad ass wiring jobs, it inspires me to slow down, be thoughtful and take just as much pride on the inside of the build as I do on the outside as well as the actual sound of the pedal. Plus, those 1590A's are so tiny, I always feel so clumsy and heavy handed when I try and wire those little guys. This pedal only has 1 knob, I have no idea how how people get multiple pots in there. And I have read the baby board guide over and over. One day...

Man, I love handpainted pedals! This is great!

I envy you folk with artistic inclinations and the skillz to pull it off (I'm looking at you, Jon!  )...

As you put it, "one day...".

Awesome pedal, but does the circuit sound great for about three minutes then then loses it's sound all together?
Or do you just like the Fruit Stripe graphic?

Thank you so much! That is awesome! I can't take all the credit for the painting, my brother helps me alot. He is the real artist. Im just a pawn in his master plan of artistic takeover and world domination! You know, one mini pedal at a time..

Awesome man, I know you are feeling great.

Soon you will need a 12 step program to deal with the addiction

1590a as your first build and your worried about wiring!?
Seriously, you've done a great job to even get it in there.  Love the paint job, I want to unwrap it and eat the contents

Not sure 12 steps is enough for this addiction.
