Moodring Build Complete!

[DPTX]

I just finished my moodring.  If you look closely you'll see an extra black wire, that's because I installed the voltage regulator backward and when I flipped it I couldn't make a great connection for V(in).  So I tapped off the resistor connection to make it work.

It's a very sweet reverb.  I modded the tone control for a flat response.  The dwell control doesn't do too much that I notice, and I had to sub a 50k trimmer because that's all I had.  I'm very happy with the build.

Artwork is by me, as usual, with envirotex on top.  I messed up the ET coating the first time and had to start over from scratch.  This is the 9th or so ET-coated pedal, first mistake I've made with the stuff.

The art is in keeping with an underwater theme I've been doing for a while.  My phaser is the only non-aquatic themed pedal, for some reason.  My original art was different and my wife (and pedal art model) recommended I go with another underwater girl.

The guts (note extra black wire across board...grr):


And sitting on the pedalboards with the others.  All of the non-commerical pedal art is by my except for the first one I ever did, which I used an Arthur Adams picture (the green tremulus lune).

Great artwork!  Excellent theme going with the pedalboard.
"Real" artists always impress me.  And I love comic books.

The guts look very tidy.  The xtra wire just makes it looks more complex in a good way.

( I'll have to subtract a point for the solder iron burn on the green wire.    I've done that too many times to count )

Thanks!  I was so ticked when I burned that wire.  When I do the switches I'm in "hurry and play it" mode.

How do you do your art?

[DPTX]

I'm old school.  I draw it and ink with a sable brush.  When I do my own art I paint with watercolor after the ink cures.  For pedals I color my scanned inks in photoshop or Procreate.  Then I resize the file to match my drilling guide.  For the final art I print on t-shirt transfer and iron it onto the before before envirotex.
