Reverse Engineered Centaur

[pickdropper]

Testing time.  I'm trying to give Cody a run on awesome basement carpeting, but I know I fell short.





This is the only proper way to test a Reverse Centaur.  Five of them on in a row (it sounds terrible, btw).



I think that's it.  I've started shipping them off and await responses from everybody.

You were so close to making the board centaur-shaped.

Ha!  I didn't even think of that.

That chain is so centauripede creepy....

Wow -- only now just going through this thread.  Seriously awesome stuff.  Love it.

Where are you putting these up for sale? Interested...

still pretty much the best pedal related joke I've ever seen. Coupled with execution and functionality this is a winner for sure!

Just realized one thing: did you wire it for true bypass? If not, why would you use 3PDT stomps? don't tell me it's because of the reverse engineering..

I wasn't originally planning on making any for sale nor did I do any advertising.  Folks contacted me directly.

I'm only using 2/3 of the switch.  I could've left the left-most column unsoldered but that would've destroyed my psyche from an OCD standpoint.

That's awesome man. I've sold so many, it's just nuts. I kept building them for myself and folks just kept asking about them. Generally I don't build for sale purposes, but everyone is still snowed by the unobtanium factor.

I see. I still prefer 2PDT switches for click feeling and sturdiness. It's funny how many of us have (light) OCD when it comes to pedal guts. I think this is part of the reason for all the clean builds these days

Will there ever be a satirical pedal graphic I like more than this one?

Doubt it.

Time to backfill the etch with ink.  I do this under a microscope with a syringe and an extra fine 30 gauge tip.  Here is what it looks like partially inked.

I'm sorry, you do what now ? Maaaaaan, the dedication...impressive

While I'm pleased with the results, it's admittedly not my favorite process.

Late to the party on this. Funniest pedal graphic I remember ever seeing. Then, the build quality is over the top, then making a production run out of it. The ink process is so impressive. I can't believe they are so consistent. I think you may have just made something highly collectible. Would that be ironic?

I bet that one with the black knobs sounds darker than the ones with oxblood knobs.
