Valvecaster a’la sci-fi

Any way to see inside?

Need to see guts or it's a rehoused Behringer. 

That's a gorgeous build. How did you do the graphic?

😂😂😂😂😂😂

There's not much to it but I'll have a peek inside next week. Owing to the meters design there is an "upper and lower floor". I'll warn you now though, once it works I tend to jam the lid on these "maf'ks" and make them look pretty on the outside.

I found a font online and popped it into MS Paint. Had to install a couple of plug ins.

After printing plain paper tests I printed the graphics in colour onto water slide transfer paper, sealed them and applied them like a model kit.

wow, ive seem some interesting ways of incorporating tubes in enclosures but this is awesome. looks like it was made 50 years ago! very nice indeed

😁👍

[blearyeyes]

you really don't even have to play it. just having it around it's cool enough to be a conversation piece

This is both inspired and inspiring. I love steampunk, diesel punk, atom punk stuff. This is my new favorite pedal. Great job!

[Tom Lauten]

Thanks Dan and Lee, very much appreciated!

[m-Kresol]

[juansolo]

Simply brilliant! 

[Tom Lauten]

Thanks guys...stop tempting me to turn out a kit! 😬

Nice. Great vision.

Did you distress the aluminum plates and hardware so as to match the apparent age of the meter and especially the terminal / knobs?

[oip]

oh wow this is freakin amazing!  great job

[Tom Lauten]

I did a bit of aging on the aluminium and the other hardware, as you say, to try and pull everything together in terms of "patina"

Haha that's so awesome!! Amazing work! But I too want a gutshot!!
