This is a VFE Distortion 3 & Rocket EQ in a 1590BB

The idea is sort of a Randy Rhoads in a box type pedal since he was known for using the MXR Distortion+ into the old blue MXR 10 band graphic EQ. Since the D+ lacks a tone control it's a perfect combo.

Edit: as noted below, there is also a nod to Marshall with the knobs and the red and green LED asymmetric clipping.

The JST PH 2.0mm type connectors make it modular if I ever want to pull the boards out and put them in my eurorack pedalboard. These are smaller than the XH 2.54mm type which wouldn't have fit in this smaller enclosure.

I added the dress nuts to the A-1091 Tayda footswitch. The ones from SB didn't fit, and Mouser was the only place I could find a M12x0.75

I also added a center detent to the 9mm "Soft" pot. Here is a walk thru of how to do it.

Damn that looks clean. The Marshall knobs are a cool tip of the hat to RR as well.

Surely rocking! Looks great and lots of knobbies to tweak. Randy would have approved!

Thanks! Yep, good catch! I forgot to mention the Marshall homages being the knobs and the red and green LED asymmetric clipping combo.

I like this! I also enjoy that RR sound even if I'm not a huge metal guy overall. I've got the fat and filter controls on my D3 set the same as you right now. I find my favorite sounds are with the hard control all the way left or right, then the soft at about 10:00 or 2:00 to add in a bit more texture.

That's awesome, but that font! I love it.

This alone is worth a BOTY vote.  The rest is great too, of course.

Beautiful build and a great idea!
