Here's a couple I wrapped up recently.

My "Screamer" (Grean Bean):

I have got to get me some small washers for the switches.






The Royal Albert Hall (Vero):
A big thanks to Steven "TGP39" for his help troubleshooting.



I build, and once in a while I might sell, pedals as "Vertigo Effects".

Awesome, love them both!  Especially the led under the lantern.
always the beautiful answer who asks a more beautiful question.

Yeah, that's pretty genius. Those look great. Really nice Envirotex work.
What did you use for the labels?

I have been working on some screamer graphics, but I like yours a lot better.   ;D

I'm glad others commented on the lantern, I missed that at first look.  Fantastic idea (I might steal it).

Thanks!
I did all the graphics and labels using paint.net and printed on inkjet water slide paper. I scanned the Zeppelin album jacket (Yes, I own the vinyl!), then had to move the hermit down the mountain so he would fit in the space. That was the hard part. I downloaded a font called Kashmir, and overlayed the labels. Then I matched the background color, and ran a sepia effect on the whole thing. I sanded flat the yellow LED and left it under the envirotex. I used this same technique on the Screamer LED, but forgot to turn it on in the pic. I also recently switched my LDR preference to 10k. The 3mm LEDs are just way bright.

I am happy to share my ideas and graphics files. Just let me know! I usually hold my LED drilling until I finalize my concept. I try to incorporate it in some way.

Those are both beautiful builds and I am stunned by the guts on that vero build!

Thank you!
I wanted all the pot wires hidden and spent some time wiring them so they could sit under the vero. I got them so tight that I didnt have to mount the board. It just rests on its wiring and is totally stationary. The key to keeping it clean was inserting the wires from the bottom. I also took the gut pic before I added the LED, so its short a couple wires.

Wow! Nice builds. I'll second the love for the led under the lantern. I've been getting bored of standard led configuration lately.

Everything about that RAH is very, very nice!

Anthony, you knocked that RAH out of the park!  So beautiful!  I'm so happy it turned out so AWESOME!

Dammit, I've been working on a pinup model riding a vacuum tube too.  Not super happy with it yet, but it's for a vero build I'll probably never box.

The lamp is epic man. Just subtle enough to really work with the graphics. Great work!
