String Theory

[Leevibe]

This is an idea I've had for a while and finally got around to making it happen. The circuit is just a little overdrive I do. I've used it in a lot of these art builds. The fretboard is just a graphic of some rosewood I found and I added some dot inlays and took measurements off of a guitar neck to get the right fret spacing. I printed in some drop shadows under the frets to add a sense of depth. The frets are some chrome sticker material I cut on my cricut. The strings are STRINGS! It's a real set of 9s under the resin.

This pedal goes to a really close friend who will find it on his desk tomorrow morning as a surprise. He will put it to good use and make lots of good sounds with it.

Thanks for giving' 'er a look

Wow! That is really something else. I was looking at the image going "How's he get it so 3D looking?" And then I read your description - that's awesome.

So you like the cricut? I was thinking of getting one to make die cut stickers I could use as painting masks. Would you suggest it for something like that?

I think that's a great use for it. I have wondered if it would be a good acid resist for enclosure etching too.

That's awesome!  How'd you get the strings to stay in place when you poured the resin?

I bought a Cricut for my wife a while ago, pretty cool all the stuff she does with it.  She's done masks for etching glass and metal, so, enclosures should be no problem

Oh yeah. I forgot to talk about that part. So I would tack one end with a dab of UV cure resin, stretch the string straight and tack the other end. The UV stuff just pretty much disappears under the envirotex.

Soo much creativity, I'm jealous.

Swish to the max, how cool! Very clever and faultlessly executed!

So freaking cool!! Is that a 1590b? It looks cavernous in there.

What a cool, clever idea.  And well executed.  You win the internet today.

I think leevibe might have already been the standing champion since that BOTY winner a few years back.

This is amazing. What a weird idea to even come up with in the first place, never mind seeing it through to completion!

125b was the right size canvas for this one. You're right. An embarrassing amount of space in there. I should probably have put a couple discreet opamps in there to make it legit.

I'm pretty good with weird ideas. Initially I wanted to use real wood veneer and inlays. That could be cool but possibly even weirder.

Wow Lee, I love this.  What a great idea and execution.

really cool idea and perfectly executed

Bravo! That's some serious dedication to the craft.
