What more needs to be said, it is a freaking Klein Bottle and it is mind blowing and crazy over the top. It was a challenging build in terms of the shear amount of parts but really came together quickly and of course sounds great. Now I just need to figure out what the hell to do with it......

Also next week may not have a hand painted VFE but after that the #VFEFriday will have the demo videos released with them.

Oh yeah, built one a little while back, it's a fantastic build. Nicely done. I just found out EHX has / had something very similar.

Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

Another impressive build Dan, but I'm kind of disappointed with no hand painted enclosure. I can't wait to see the demo of this!

I'm curious to see how approach this.  I get the concept, but not sure how that plays out in practical terms.  Looks like a nail biter of a build though.

How loud is too loud?  What?

Looks great! Maybe a spot on the side or back could get a little hand paint to keep with the tradition ;D

+1 on a demo.  I've never been able to get my head around how to use this thing.

Thank you all for the kind words.... I honestly wasn't going to do a demo but you have all changed my mind. I will put it in the queue, next weeks demo is currently uploading and is pretty righteous.

Cool, I was wondering if you had snagged one of these.

This thing is essentially a 3 channel mixer with pre/post gain and tone controls for each channel.

The little 9mm XtoX knobs just control how much signal from each channel bleeds into the other 2

Something like that. The  vids are just mind blowing.

Great work! The Klein bottle is a really fun project.

I consolidated all the block descriptions from the VFE site and the Kickstarter page awhile back. Maybe this will be helpful to finding uses.

Nice! I kind of regret not getting one of these while I could just for the challenge. A friend of mine bought a fully assembled Klein bottle from Peter before he stopped. My friend sold that Klein bottle for over a thousand bucks recently 😳

You can order boards here if you can get 2 other people to go in with you.

Peter made me one of his B-stocks when he was fundraising for his son. I still can't find the blemish on the enclosure! He has some rigorous QC standards, and I hope he is passing that ideal onto his students. Looking forward to your video Dan.

Wow, that's like $60 per board. I know they are 4 layer boards but that's a bunch a $
